They would be outnumbered. [Makes no difference when they get the drop on you except they wind up with MORE guns.} We don't deny people not in planes the RKBA for fear of terrorists. [No we prevent it because of nuts, incompetents, suicidal malacountents, etc. There is nothing indicating the second amendment means that EVERY person can own a gun or that they can carry it ANYwhere they wish at ANY time. In addition, you forget that the BoR was originally meant to constrain ONLY the federal government.]

That's always a good point to make. Some States' Rights advocates argue against the Incorporation Doctrine (certainly a fair argument to make) -- but that means conceding that states then have the power to confiscate all guns, make Islam the state religion, put accused criminals on the rack, force citizens to quarter state militia, confiscate your property without ANY compensation, shut down all media the state government doesn't like, eliminate jury trials for accused criminals, allow strip searches in public for no reason or probable cause, etc. No thank you.

I would respect the rights of private airlines to ban firearms from their planes. Would you support the right of a private airline to allow them?
