We do not have to think of every possible means available to someone who might want to do violence on innocent people.
People who want to kill will find a way to kill. They always have and they always will. Without an unlimited budget for security you're fighting a losing battle. Do you really want to turn The Villages into a hardened security zone?

Put up all the barriers you want. Might stop the cars but what about the guy that just walks up with a pressure cooker bomb in his backpack? For every security measure you put into place someone will just find an alternate method to counter it.

Be cognizant of your surroundings. If you're really concerned stay away from places that would make good targets. The statistical chance of being killed in a terrorist or any other attack are miniscule.

Don't live in fear.
