Quote:Even if there were guns allowed on the planes, they would have simply put more people on the flights, or used bombs for the hijacking.

Quote:Ron, thanks for the clarification on guns on planes. Nevertheless, the hijackings pretty much ended when guns were excluded in a serious manner
Quote:The 9/11 hijackings were very cleverly conceived, planned for many months, and could not be duplicated today. Allowing guns on planes does not seem wise if one looks at the history.
Quote:And this (if true at all) is due to their carrying guns? How?
Quote:The availability and prevalence of guns in a society is more closely associated with violence, strife, and disorder than it is with anything that can be termed "polite".
Quote:There are certainly arguments to be made for allowing them anyway, but let's face the facts rather than relying on discredited bromides. You guys have the second amendment on your side; the "gun grabbers" aren't going to reach their goal.

The methods were not even able to carry through on the entire 9/11 plan. But, what history deems it unwise to allow guns on planes?

Quote:Funny, there's a memo from the CIA saying exactly that.

Quote:The CIA knew there weren't WMDs and even with Tenet playing the faithful lackey, they couldn't play along with Bush, which is why the OSP was created. Get your facts straight.
Quote:And what, pray tell, do you think is going to happen when the people who do flip out on planes are now armed? Or if someone starts firing at one of those people. But that's right, everyone's so polite when they're armed. Just like Iraq or Somalia.

Quote:The 9/11 comission shot down the myth of the passengers trying to take over the plane in PA, but it sounds a better story than admitting that the plane was shot down.
