Guns don't belong on planes. Period. That includes FAMs!
I have no desire to "feel safer." I prefer to
be safer, regardless of how I (or anyone else) happens to feel. But I'm not willing to write a blank check to the guardians of my safety, because they would certainly spend all the money I have -- and then some! That's the problem. Nobody is opposed to safety per se. Some of us would just like to weigh the additional safety against its cost. Does that sort of analysis interest you, Mike (or
Brian)?
