In the US, we tell people to bunker down and take shelter. The result is Columbine, Virginia Tech, etc where people are slaughtered on their knees.

I don't think "bunkered down" normally means, disarmed by law. Most of the people I know who have family bunkers, have guns and the knowhow and willingness to use them.

You missed the point.

A bunker is fine if you can defend it.

A bunker is useless if you are facing 30 men armed with machine guns and grenades.

The authorities tell people to stay put and take shelter.....not good advice in most Mumbai-type attacks, which is what we are discussing here.

“I don’t think “bunkered down” normally means, disarmed by law. Most of the people I know who have family bunkers, have guns and the knowhow and willingness to use them.”

No he means the “shelter in place” training that most of the government practices. They have these drills in the military all the time and make no sense to me, why put everyone in one or two small spaces if there is an active shooter? It would be like shooting fish in a barrel. Also because of the Ft. Hood shooting they are even more determined to make sure you are disarmed on base.

This story is a bunch of fear mongering in order to boost support for cops and their over priced pensions. The problem is that people are now getting hit with $400-1000 dollar tickets every time they turn around. That doesn’t make people want to support these thugs in blue who will do like they did at V. Tech or Columbine and cower behind some trees with all their expensive SWAT equipment until the shooting stops. Then harass the few people left alive trying to get out with the wounded afterwards.
