You see people... you can shoot hijackers on a plane and not bring down the plane.
Lets arm our pilots!

We should also have a big discount on airfare for police, armed forces, and other professionls if they bring the weapons on board.
To: Minutemen
More proof that guns ARE needed on our planes!

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!! We were all wondering a few days ago if guns WERE involved,
and now we see that they were!! Huzzah!! Proof positive. Can't wait to see how the anti-gun crowd spins this one!

The security men then "took measures against the two men", he said. Translation: A double tap directed at the center of mass. Good show!

UK questions validity of Ethiopian Story... Eddie01

Good work!
At the very least, the TSA ought to let CCL holders, police/sherriffs, and commissioned military officers fly armed.

In the Liberal mind, ANY force is excessive. Time to take back our country!

"Ethiopia -- Land of the free, Home of the brave." Well now, I wouldn't go quite that far.

I guess that we will just have to wait to hear all of the reasons why they can shoot hijackers on a Fokker 50 in Ethiopia but our pilots can't be armed. We just have to count on an F-16 shooting our planes down rather than risk a pilot shooting someone.

But it was not the pilots who shot the hijackers, it was security men.

Let's arm our citizens like the Constitution states...

"Can't wait to see how the anti-gun crowd spins this one!"
Unfortunately, they probably wont be reading this story on "The Evening News", notice the obscure (South African?) website that this story originated from.....
To: dyed_in_the_wool
Let's arm our citizens like the Constitution states...I agree. An aircraft with an armed pilot, and five or six armed American citizens, is a very safe aircraft, that will not be flown into the whitehouse or a nuclear reactor.

"But it was not the pilots who shot the hijackers, it was security men"
I'm sure the pilots would have been happy to oblige them!
