LOL! So which would you rather have? Someone with a box cutter or handgun? You want to take your chances on the results being the same?

Guns are not allowed on aircraft, period, unless authorized! I guess people don't realize what an airplane is! The man was asinine! He should have checked it in at the ticket counter. it has NOTHING to do with your "rights". It is the AIRLINES "rights". It is MY right to safety that the airline provides by securing it for me (and others).

I suppose you reserve the "right" to run red lights, hit pedestrians, and drive the wrong way down a highway, since it is the FEDS who have told you that you can't!! What the heck is wrong with you people?

>>I guess people don't realize what an airplane is!

Yes, the guy was careless, stupid, whatever (but not as studpid as the feds who loss their guns and classified laptops and don't hear of them getting such treatment. I could be wrong).

Weren't people allowed to carry guns on planes before 1968? Don't recall any problems back then, such as hijackings, etc.

Yes, I know it was a "different time."

Good discussion.

Obviously, you don't think very well. Do 6th grade again.

All the offenses you list are STATE offenses, not FEDERAL.

Secondly, there's a difference between Freepers and terrorists intent on killing Americans in terrorist acts.

Try again when you've grown up.

Your papers, comrade. You are NOT permitted beyond this point without prior authorization from Big Brother.

He should have checked it in at the ticket counter. it has NOTHING to do with your "rights".

It has everything to do with our Rights. If the government can declare certain areas as "no guns", they can declare any area as such. The 2nd amendment says "shall not be infrigned". Not "shall not be infringed unless the gov't decides it should be for your safety".

It is the AIRLINES "rights".

Actually, it's the corrupt gov't saying this, not the airlines. Now, I won't dispute that the CEOs and beancounters (and others who don't actually have to fly on commerical airlines) of the airlines agree with the gov't on this, but that doesn't make it any more legitimate. It's no different that a business owner saying "no minorities allowed"

It is MY right to safety that the airline provides by securing it for me (and others).

Does your "right to safety" also involve the power of the gov't to ban guns anywhere they please?

"It is MY right to safety that the airline provides by securing it for me (and others). "

They did a great job with protecting the passengers on 9/11 didn't they? The problem with allowing the airlines (not once the Feds are all in place)is they are assuring me that I have NO defense other than my two hands and feet and maybe 3 feet of fishing tackle oh forget I said that.

What they can do which will be more beneficial is PROFILE!!!!!
