Feh! A pitiful attempt at backpedaling! Our country controls guns irrespective of race.

Just admit it: You fell headfirst into my trap. Ha ha ha! I am at the top of my game! <i>I'm invincibile!</i>

Whelp, you know not with whom you trifle!

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership to the rescue yet again!!!

Gun Control Is Racist

Found this leaflet too.

That is ridiculous. I reject it outright.

Guns on planes making holes in plane: Frangible handgun ammunition was developed to ameliorate that problem.

Nazi Germany: Mussolini made the trains run on time, not Hitler (presumably German trains already ran on time). Actually Mussolini didn't either, but he shot anyone who said they didn't.

Nail clippers: Not forbidden. Specifically listed as permitted.

Shooting someone with a concealed carry weapon, or taking gun away from civilian and using it on them: Happened just recently (a couple of weeks ago) in PA, I heard. That's the first time I've ever heard of that happening for real, though.

Guns on Planes
 

Heh, the thought of guns on planes makes me think of "Starship Troopers" when everybody forms a big circle to shoot at something in the middle. Those guys would have a tough time with the Girl Scouts.

So, guns means you might make a hole in the plane which would make everyone get to choose whether to wear an oxygen mask (leash!) or lose consciousness and possibly die. Or they might hit somebody other than the target.

And hmmmm, if there are several hijackers which there would be and if they're carrying the heaviest stuff they can which they will be, hmmm, they might just win a firefight. Especially with how an airplane is laid out.

And hmmm, give the pilot and copilot guns, well maybe one will shoot the other and take over. Sure it's hard to get there, but it's possible. And they'll be behind those locked doors. And nobody will know what's going on.

I have to think that guns on planes is a lousy idea.

A better one, obviously, is to let hijackers take over planes and crash them into tall buildings. What's 3,000 dead when the wrong person might get shot on a plane?

Welcome to the Cockpit
 

Got this in my email during the last round of hearings on the issue of armed pilots.

Mmmmmm... scones!

Re: Guns on Planes
 

So noted. Thank you for your opinion.

(even if it is stupid)

(stupid is a little harsh. I really meant "foolish and not well reasoned.")

That depends largely on where you are. It's pretty easy here to get a permit. Metro areas have their problems with guns, but in all the years I've been tied to this area, (35) there's only been 2 non-hunting related shootings. (and 3719 hunting related shootings :) )

you counted the guy outside the nuthouse in the non-hunting right?

and 95.3% of the hunting-relateds don't really count because they are NJ residents.

That only counts for stupidity, and it was self inflicted, but I'll give it to you. 3 in 35 years.
