There was a time when it was legal to carry a gun on a plane. We didn't have hijackings then and if we allowed it again it will stop any more hijackings.

If all alcohol is removed from planes, and all flyers are given a breathalyzer before boarding, I'll agree with you.

Drunks and guns don't mix.

The proper response to the 9-11 hijackings would have been to arm the pilots immediately ... by Executive Order issued on 9/12/01. We could have saved $billions and saved our remaining freedoms, too.

You're correct.

In fact, most of the "mass homicide" events in the last decade have occured in "no gun" zones, such as airplanes, schools, and workplaces.
