Federal Officials Deny Report That Obama Seeks to End Pilot Gun Program

Federal officials are denying a report that the Obama administration is seeking to end a program that allows trained airline pilots to carry guns.

...

Sterling Payne, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration, denied the report and said the program that oversees a reported 12,000 federal flight deck officers (FFDO) is actually expanding.

"It's inaccurate, this program continues to grow," Payne told FOXNews.com of the editorial. "TSA continues to recruit and put new FFDOs on planes, and we continue to train them and do recurring training."

If Obama does change the policy so as to disarm pilots, then from that moment on every US airliner hijacking will be Obama's fault—with the new policy as the loudly-proclaimed reason!

SURE he denies it! Just like when he said he wasn’t going to infringe on the 2nd Amendment in the campaign. What a bald-faced LIAR!

Here is what it really is:

Panic over the incompetence of this administration.
And it is well founded.

I see this as nothing but propaganda by the Obama administration: They will say they are not killing it but they are defunding it.

Today we had an Obama cop/prosecutor sbir tell us in a lecture that to carry a gun one must register the gun with the state. A complete lie and legal risk intimidation.

They are out there and unleashed on gun owners for any excuse on the market, courtesy stimulus bill, in the same fashion feminists have been unleashed on men to destroy marriages and tax the bread winner.

It’s more likely O will defund the program.

Exactly! He often decides things that happened didn’t happen, when it serves his purpose. This was one of those gotcha moments for us! I want to see it on Fox and any other conservative media that can air it!!!!!

You’re probably right, but even that won’t happen without a fight. Then again, Captain Teleprompter has been lying constantly throughout the campaign (which has never ended for him). It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he’s lying again.

It’s no wonder these people are so in favor of gun control...they keep shooting themselves in the foot. First they are forced to backpedal on the AIG bonus “scandal,” then they retreat on the veterans having to pay for their own medical care, now this.

Making popcorn for tonight, who knows what entertainment there will be.

Everyone who is eligible should buy a gun and learn how to use it. If a person already owns a gun, he should buy another one, and extra ammunition. This will send a clear message to the Demo-Socialists, other criminals, and the terrorists.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. We need to make it impossible for the government to take away our Second Amendment right. The Demo-Socialists seek to trash the Constitution, even more than it has been already. A book to read is The Dirty Dozen, which is about 12 Supreme Court decisions which have undermined the Constitution. One deals with Socialist Security, for example (available on amazon.com).

So, which is it?

I see a pattern.

There is a lot of "so which is it" thought going on toward this administration.

Smoke screens or just absolute incompetence?
