Within 12 hours would surprise even me. Although I saw several FReepers on here suggest we needed to get rid of more liberty and freedom
How would you like if a family member had died in that incident and a person next to you was saying, "Oh great, another reason to take away our freedom."
I have several friends with family in that exact area who have not heard from them since this morning!
And I would turn around and say, you're right, if those people had been allowed to exercise their 2nd amendment rights on those planes, they probably wouldn't have been hijacked and no one would have died. Then I'd add that if we got the hell out of NATO and the UN, we wouldn't that my family could have been saved also.
WHAT!!!! What airline, even without FAA regulations, would be foolish enough to allow people to bring guns on board. You seem to think that if we all lived as cowboys did that we would be safe. I'm pro 2nd amendment, but guns on airplanes? HELL NO
What other precious freedoms are threatened? You must go through bigger metal detectors in airports? If you choose to fly, you consent to any test they place before you. There is no RIGHT to fly on airplanes paid for by others. Really what liberties do you see, realistically, threatened. I don't see any grounds for 2nd amendment debate over these incidents. No gun control would have prevented them. No limiting speech would have prevented them. Commandeering your personal property would not have prevented these incidents. I just don't see the threat. The threat I see is the terrorists and being killed by them. Why must everything be about laws?
