True. The safer you make society, the more complacent its citizens become. We aren't prepared for this in this Country. We haven't known since the 1860s what it's like to have a war fought in your homeland. Complacency breeds easy targets - we are a nation of sheep. Guns, or not. We are very good at haggling over social or intellectual details, using technology, and the like - but dealing with a man who is face-to-face with you (or off in the distance) and looking to kill you is something the citizens of most other places on the planet (read: Southern countries) are better at dealing with.
