“If just ONE PERSON on each of those flights had been armed, we would not even be having this discussion. We would have had 19 dead or captured WANNABEE hijackers and that would have been that.”
And, each of the hijackers would also have been armed. Five versus one. Net result, ‘ONE PERSON’ with a lot of holes. The problem is, if you allow arms on planes, then you allow armed hijackers on planes.
BTW, I thought Paul was rather clear that he wasn’t advocating armed passengers but armed flight crews. You probably should check the transcript.
I heard Paul during the debate and he was not clear at all with his thoughts about guns on planes. I felt sure he meant armed guards on planes rather than armed passengers but he didn’t say it that way.
