Commercial airline pilots are already flying a weapon far more dangerous than the mother of all liberal fears: the assault rifle. So what’s the problem?

In this instance I agree with him
In most instances I think he’s a horse’s -ss.
Both are happening at the same time.

100% is stupid. Not all are qualified or willing. Forcing them to do so is stupid.

So they went to all the trouble and expense to secure the cockpit walls and doors and make it a place where the hijackers can’t get into thus denying them control of the aircraft. So is Senator Paul suggesting that in the event of a hijacking the pilots leave that protected area and shoot it out with the hijackers? What if they lose? The hijackers now have the plane and can do what they want with it. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me.

We need guns in the home and on our hips first.

to allow concealed weapons on military bases Why not require EVERYONE ON POST/BASE (except basic trainees) TO OPEN CARRY A SIDEARM AT ALL TIMES WHILE ON POST?

Not so sure this would help. First of all, guns would have to be in a lock box, probably also having a trigger lock.
Then the ammunition would have to be stored separately, in another lock box. It would require TWO pilots to turn their lockbox keys at exactly the right moment to open.
Then they would have to check the manual, explaining the correct procedure for loading and firing the weapon.
No offence to pilots, these would be FAA regulations.

I disagree. I think we should arm all NON-Muslim pilots.

A past friend (retired with waaay over 20,000 hours) noted that Big Gubment had trusted him with a nuke and a plane to deliver it - but was not willing to allow him to carry his own handgun while flying.
PS He was also an NRA Master Counselor and a pistol competitor of some skill.

He’s correct about this, but I don’t think it would have saved MH370.
