To get a meaningfull residency visa for the US I had to provide my life history from day 1, prove my life history with documentary evidence, provide a criminal background history for my entire adult life, have a medical, get fingerprinted & photo'ed, provide proof of financial solvency and then attend the US embassy for an interview with a state dept case officer (I think they are actually all CIA guys).
So, it ain't that easy.

A well founded fear. I forget the number of times I have left the line due to Fred rolling up to show Wilma how well he can shoot and pass on his wisdom to her. Scary. The ex-military RO's where I shoot are of a similar opinion, but they are dealing with paying customers so they politely control instead of throwing people off the range. Its a money business and you don not scare off the money.
Which is a universally held truth about ranges by pretty much every member of this forum to the point that some of the members here refuse to shoot at public ranges.
That hasn't translated into a norm of civilians shooting themselves and each other instead of the bad guys, however.
ETA: They don't have to be SAS to have a positive effect. Even if it's just Blues with his trusty J-Frame, if you hold them off and allow more innocents to escape you have done your part in the concept of dying well. Wit the NCIS agent at the Navy Yard shooting who had a P239 with no reload. There's lots of criticism towards him, but the fact is that his limited actions which didn't even hit the assailant still allowed more people to escape, and gave just that much more time for responders.

I have lived in a literal police state, and believe me when I say the US is as far from that as the UK is from it.
As long as citizen are allowed to do whatever they want, whenever they want, there won't be much of any issues.
The problem here is that the politicians and left group think wants more refugees, more anti English "culture" and more non-assimilated immigrants. That is something we here, in the US, generally do well to overcome, though we still have our issues. In the UK there seems to be a legitimate issue with acceptance of other cultures at the expense of their own. That is unacceptable and that is the root cause.
This isn't a hardware problem, as you can have uniformed LE on every corner with rifles and it'll still happen, like in Israel, like in NY, like in any other city with a major problem with the current left wing ideology which promotes this type of thing.
My laptop just had a nervous breakdown or something, so these links didn't get through...
Anyway, more to it than just a bad driver, after all: London Bridge attack: Terror incident leaves up to seven feared dead after van ploughs into pedestrians 'before five men jump out and start stabbing people'
'They shouted 'this is for Allah', as they stabbed indiscriminately' - How the London terror attack unfoldedPolice 'gun down three attackers' at pub in Borough Market as SAS hunt one remaining suspect
A GANG of five terrorists wearing stab-proof vests drove a van into pedestrians at 50mph on London Bridge before attacking revellers with hunting knives.
At last six people have died and 20 hurt following the 10:08pm attack. Staff at a packed pub locked the doors as the gang tried to smash their way in. One man was stabbed five times.
A picture taken outside the Wheatsheaf pub in Borough Market shows two of the terrorists lying dead – after being gunned down by cops.
Four explosions – believed to be controlled explosions by police – were heard outside The Sun offices in London Bridge between 1:23am and 1:49am.
