Oh yeah? If a few of "the people" whose right to bear arms had not been infringed by the FAA (a part of the federal government), had been on those airplanes on 9-11, the World Trade Center would still be standing, but there would be 19 dead or severly wounded Islamaniacs, and maybe just as many dead passengers and crew, but only because those armed members of the group known as "the people" might not have acted in time to save the aircraft, but they would have saved those in the towers and in the Pentagon. A few armed members of the militia around key infrastructure would go a long way to protecting it as well.
