So, just to be clear, are all three of you arguing that there should be no restrictions on where anyone can carry a gun - on a plane, in a federal courthouse or at a Bush "town hall" meeting?
What's your take on why the number of hijackings took a nosedive (no pun intended) when the security checkpoint was estabished? If letting people fly with guns was such a safe way to travel, wouldn't there have been less hijackings before guns were banned and more after it?
IMO, one doesn't have to be too creative to think of ways that a gun could be used to damage a plane or its pilots.
