If you are not psychologically qualified to carry a gun on an airliner, you are not qualified to fly the airliner.

That pretty much sums up this nonsense in one sentence. I mean, these people are trained to react coolly and professionally in a life-threatening crisis. They are exactly the kind of people we should be encouraging to be armed in every phase of life!

Think what it means to believe otherwise, and how it relates to liberalism generally:

1. police are unnecessary
2. gumshoe work using shady operatives is unnecessary
3. the military is unnecessary
4. nobody should have a gun
5. Nirvana will arrive as soon as the government makes everything either mandatory or forbidden.

The whole thing is a bunch of magical thinking which makes no sense at all.
