Pilots will be armed and gun control issues will be abandoned when politicians fear terrorism MORE than the possibility that armed citizens might stage a rebellion against the politician's insane spending and regulation.

I'd go further than that. I still believe that anyone authorized to carry a gun (federal, state or pvt citizen) should be allowed to carry a weapon on commercial flights. The only stipulation (as it is now), each armed individual needs to know where every other armed individual is sitting. BTW, I'm not authorized to carry.
