An armed citizenry is more than a match for terrorists. If just some passengers and pilots had been armed on 9/11, we would have had 19 dead terrorists and few if any other casualties.

“An armed citizenry is more than a match for terrorists.”

Really? A match for terrorists armed with nuclear and chemical weapons?

“If just some passengers and pilots had been armed on 9/11, we would have had 19 dead terrorists and few if any other casualties.”

Very wishfull thinking considering the terrorists would also have been armed, acting as a team, and with the elements of surprise and training on their side. If you’re USMC as your screen name seems to signify, you should know that five trained men working as a team can whip many times their number of untrained and surprised individuals.
