Honestly? Yes, it seems that people aren't so much scared of it happening as waiting/hoping for it happen. I sure as hell don't.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. I managed a gun shop during 9/11, and the giddiness that some, I'd even say many, folks displayed about the potential opportunity for them to defend their country from A-Rabs was pretty disconcerting.
Most people don't understand or have the faintest idea of what it would really be like.....they watch too many movies.
I pray to God I NEVER have to use any of my guns in self defense...ever.
Any of you remember the sandbag bunker they built at Dobbins along the fence along 41 right after 9/11?
Couple years later I met a guy who became a friend. He worked for Lockheed and spent 5 years overseas deployed. We were talking one night and the subject came up about the bunker. He looked at me and asked if I knew what was in it? I had no clue. His answer, NOTHING. It was all for show. They put mannequins in uniform every now and then, and moved some trucks around. Was a pony show to make us citizens feel like they were doing something.

I think it is a sign of pent-up frustration.
A chance to let that out and "show 'em what we're made of".
Honestly, given the "sentence" structure and relatively decent spelling, I'd say chucklenut wrote it.
You can always check a weapon at the gate and it is secured in the armory. I am at the Navy Marine Center on the backside and a few of our guys that are cops have checked weapons before - upon entering.
I think it's a sign of false bravado and machismo. I'd be willing to bet that, outside of maybe a fish or a fly, most people haven't killed anything - much less another human being - much less one that has caught them unawares and is engaging them with a significant volume of fire. I've shot with a lot guys and gals over the years and I'll say this...most people have a hard time with a paper plate past 7yds. In a crowded enviornment with adrenaline dumping into your system, and fear gripping your throat?
Yeah, I'll pass.
Also, my k/d on COD is like .976. Bring it skinnies. Hooah.
Now where are my Cheetos....

I stole that one from a tv commercial. Can't remember if it was deodorant, toothpaste, or what.
