The "surprise" part was not the point of my statement...the idea of ARMED CITIZENS was.

This attack was contained about as quickly as it possibly could have been, apparently within single digit seconds, even if every person there had been armed. If he/they just wanted to kill Americans/Jews, they shouldn't have picked El Al for the location of their attack. A more likely place to have armed defenders doesn't exist, outside of the White House. :)

A similar attack on a local mall or baseball game crowd would be likely to go on for minutes before being brought to an end.

To that extent I don't disagree with you. It just wouldn't have helped in THIS case.

"To that extent I don't disagree with you. It just wouldn't have helped in THIS case."

...Absolutly. Well, LIKELY, anyway.

If you read back through the posts, though...my answer was specifically directed toward the Third Way, New Democrat mayor of LA jumping in like the idiot he is with his "there are too many guns in LA" comments for the press.

My compliments to the el Al security staff - EXCELLENT GUN CONTROL...and am I safe in assuming that YOU understand the significance of the target as well?
