How many could a person with a truck kill driving into a crowd of 22,000 at a concert? I don't know the answer but i know a temporary chain link fence doesn't stop 60,000 pounds of rolling steel.

    When asked "gotcha" questions, Jesus would often answer with a question himself. I will offer no quotes, go research it yourself. But with Jesus' example I would answer that question with another question, which is: "You are a human being, tell me, how can you prevent a human being from dying?"
    Obviously it cannot be done. That is the problem with those who do not fear God, they try to mitigate every possible threat in life. I hate the idea of being forced to wear seat belts. I live in a community that forces parents to make their children wear helmets to ride bicycles. And on ad nauseam. So why do we not make children wear helmets when the walk on any concrete surface. They may fall down. Grrrr. People who cannot trust in God force the gubmint to provide every security for them. Now they even want the gubmint to protect them from the "the sky is warming, the sky is warming" ...don't get me going here...

    Then there`s this situation.Anyone remember the novel about the guy that was going to
    try to kill a bunch of people at a Super Bowl game.Was going to use a huge claymore type weapon attached to the Goodyear blimp.Think about something along those lines about 15 feet by 4 feet loaded with 1 inch steel ball bearings in the back of a box truck and pointed at that type of venue and touched off.

    There are more ways to kill groups of humans than we can possibly list. That this guy used guns is bad for legal gun owners, buy in with traffer, the godless want to mitigate and prevent every possible harm to everyone. We all are going to die, no one gets out of this life alive. Deal with it, take as few risks as you feel comfortable with and live your life to the fullest. And let's help each other work to keep our guns in our hands.

    Why not? We got a "knee jerk" Homeland Security Agency of 38,000+ individuals and their salaries and benefits, how many airports with "feel good" multi-million dollar equipment for seeing if you have any metal parts stashed on your person, of course after the embarrassment to you of an illegal strip search, and SWAT Teams and training in every major town and city the likes of which would probably make the Third Reich proud. Where does it end?
    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    I will say this; you cannot prevent this type of premeditated and planned out incidents from happening with defensive "security" measures. They will always find a way around those or find another venue of attack.
