You're the one who supports letting everyone bringing whatever weapons they wish aboard the airplane. That includes the terrorists.

Firearms favor the organized small group that has trained together over the mob that has not trained together (or even met) prior to the enaggement--which, by definition, will come by surprise.

It's why good armies try to train their troops together. It's why the US military's performance in Vietnam was subpar compared to World War II.

An unarmed melee is exactly the reverse--the many, even a disorganized mob, will overcome the few.
