but you still have the Billy-Bob idiots who play with their guns. I mean, sitting in a chair for hours gets boring. Now, he has 30 some people sitting directly in front of him, so when the idiot (and we all know the world is full of idiots who should never, ever be allowed to purchase a firearm, for their own safety) finally discharge a weapon, how many people will be hurt?

Before 1968 (I believe) passengers could carry aboard airlines. Did you ever hear of some "Billy-Bob" shooting people? I cannot even fathom the idiocy required to pull a gun out in an airplane just out of sheer boredom! Please come up with better reasoning than this.

Not me. I'm too busy fantasizing about pulling that little red handle and releasing the emergency exit door. I wonder how many 9mm holes that represents?
