Great personal attack, really helps your cause.

Hah! As personal attacks go, that one was dead on!

Face it, Tolsti. You're a blithering idiot.

Cause I dislike GA? Go back and read my history. Don’t be so blinded by one subject. That goes for all of you on this thread when it comes to insults.

Bored wealthy?

You don’t know a thing about General Aviation. Swing by your local airport sometime and learn about what makes the place tick before you yabber on about something you clearly know nothing about.

Driving your vehicle with diesel fuel, and ammonium nitrate is a privilege.

"I'm for constitutional freedoms. Flying is not one."

You obviously don't have a clue what freedom is. Freedom is not granted by government or a piece of paper. Our freedoms are derived from our creator and our right to be travel in closer proximity to the above is protected in large part from worms like yourself by the 9th and 10th Amendments.

9th - The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

10th - The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The fanatical response is making me a bit more wary of the whole GA subject. Wow. I thought it was bad already, but man.

Would you ban the FAA?

I’m against empowering the gov’t to strip away freedoms anytime something makes the headlines. Life is dangerous. Live with it ...or not, I really don’t care. The chances of me or you being killed from some airplane falling out of the sky accidently or intentionally are so small it is ridiculous.

"Would you ban the FAA?"

The FAA for the most part is one of the better ran government regulators. Their effect is world wide and needed and they exist for pilots and aircraft of all sizes and shapes. Likewise, with out aviation there would be no need for an FAA dummy.

I think you're just paranoid about every damn thing. It's not a perfect world and no amount of laws or regulations will ever make it so. Get over it or join your communist comrades at DU...

Wow, some people with severe anger issues should probably be watched, and banned, from flying. They might flip out and attack something, hint hint.

The answer isn’t more government regulation, that’s for sure.

There’s no way that anything they could implement would have stopped this guy or would stop any other guy.

Do these idiots who think government regulation is the answer not realize that people will just lie?

"How are they going to stop it? This guy had a hangar, and he had access to the airport," said Beth Ann Jenkins, president of Pilot's Choice, a flight school near where Stack kept his Piper. Travis McLain, manager of the airport, said: "I don't know of a rule or regulation or safety precaution that could have prevented what happened yesterday."

Exactly.

You don't have a clue about the people involved in GA. The most honest, down to earth and just have it together people on the planet drive small airplanes. Compare the record of incidents of road rage, drive by shootings, or any other category to incidents like the one in Austin and you will find that out of hundreds of thousands of pilots who fly millions of hours in the air each year, it is the only one that occurred where you could say the guy was an actual aviation enthusiast.

You, sir, are woefully ignorant of General Aviation.

I completely agree with your assessment.

I can’t believe some of the stuff I’ve read...

Sounds almost as good as congress and Obama going off on corporate jets.

Frankly GA’s a big risk in general with little benefit except for the bored wealthy.

That's your opinion.

Someday someone will use one for a chem or bio attack like Atta wanted.

Whether it's regulated or not. Where there's a will, there's a way. Regulation only makes it an inconvenience and nuisance for the law abiding people who don't need it any way.

This one area I’d like to see more or less cleaned up entirely.

In favor of yet MORE useless governmental regulation? How do you propose doing that?

LVMac is right. You are on the wrong forum and you are an idiot.

Things slow over at DU?
