Just shaking my head here. A gun on board could have prevented all the hijackings. And this guy doesn't know what he is talking about. There are at least two armed guards on all El Al flights. I can't remember if the pilots are armed or not, but I do know about the armed guards.

[Utah Girl]

ping!

Just shaking my head here. A gun on board could have prevented all the hijackings.

um, you are accepting their premise, that guns in the hands of anyone
less than federal agents, is bad.

these people don’t care about self defense, or crime prevention.
these people care about taking citizen’s guns. period.

[Utah Girl]

Oh. I meant a gun carried by anyone on board would have prevented the hijackings.

[pray4liberty]

Okay, I'm trying to be fair here. When Sarah & her minions decide to put their bodies and their lives on the line to fight off hijackers using hand-to-hand combat techniques, then maybe her suggestions would have merit. Until then, all this is simply spewing verbal diarrhea.

[Common Tator]

Israeli Pilots are armed to the teeth.

The brady bunch got all arms banned on flights and it worked. The arabs used no guns. They used single edged razor blades in plastic handles. That is how they got them thru security.

But if they took all knives away, people can be killed with a piece of cat gut ukelele string and two ball point pens. But in far less training than it takes to fly a plane person can be taught to kill with their bare hands. Almost anyone can be taught to do it in a short time.

For many people hands and feet are certainly lethal weapons.

Once when I was a small boy my dad and I were helping my grandfather butcher cows. Grandpa's gun would not fire, so Dad killed the steers with one blow each from his right hand. I figure he could have killed a human easily if he had ever wanted to do so.

To make sure no one ever gets on board with a lethal weapon, you would have to amputate all hands and feet.

[glock rocks]

thanks, utah girl. i tried to say what i meant, and i don't think it came out right.
the brady bunch agenda is single minded... to remove firearms from citizens.

the rest is the sales job. i know what you meant, and i just posted before thinking.

these people make me angry. sorry.

[Gilbo_3]

we will be safe when EVERY citizen is a sworn US marshall... <----- sarcasm of course

[Utah Girl]

No, don't apologize. I do know the Brady campaign means to disarm every American. I tried to put a gag alert on the title line, but it was too long (the title.) I've flown on El Al before. Very intrusive searches, but I felt very safe flying with them. They don't mess around.

"These measures include requiring background checks on all gun sales to prevent criminals, and would-be terrorists, from obtaining guns,

Already in place. Perhaps background checks should also include those purchasing box cutters and gillette razor blades

retaining records of gun purchases, so that weapons can be traced if they are used in a crime or terrorist act.

Already in place and in violation of the law. But I will go on record right here and now that if I am required to register my Gillette razor or submit to a background check in order to purchase another one, I will grow a beard!

If we can detect terrorists while they are attempting to amass their arsenals...

While at the local F&M I saw a suspicious guy purchasing several packs of Schick razor blades. I attempted to call the FBI but at 6:15 p.m. they were gone for the day.....

[luvzhottea]

If the pilots had guns those scum terrorists would have been dead and the people ALIVE.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Notice that they've recently changed even their own NAME as they try to expand their "focus" from handguns to "preventing violence" =>

And "preventing violence" is certainly a valid reason for "confiscating all privately owned weapons," can't it?

[luvzhottea]

2nd Amendment Rights:
Attacks on American Muslims Reaffirm Wisdom of 2nd Amendment

Gun Owners of America

Women Against Gun Control

The Firearms Coalition NEAL KNOX

[Robert A Cook PE]

Notice also that their liberal agenda is covered under the terrorist attack - even though the terrorists KNEW they didn't need handguns to attaqck the defenseless stewardesses (much less any act to "amass ANY arsenel of weapons" at gun shows ....)

"These measures include requiring background checks on all gun sales to prevent criminals, and would-be terrorists, from obtaining guns, and retaining records of gun purchases, so that weapons can be traced if they are used in a crime or terrorist act.

Not one terrorist used or carried a gun in this entire dispicable attack. Not one report that I know of mentioned a gun on the person of any of the hundreds that have been detained or arrested in connection with the investigations.

But fascists like Sarah "Goebbels" Brady will never let reason stand between them and their fanatical desires.

[glock rocks]

if I am required to register my Gillette razor or submit to a background check in order to purchase another one, I will grow a beard!

yikes. well, okay.

as long as you don’t start wearing a turban, too.

[Utah Girl]

Exactly right. I've noticed many liberal groups taking advantage of the bombing tragedy to further their own agendas.

It was pointed out by a clller to the G. Gordon Liddy show, by a pilot, that congress passed a pilot carry law several years ago. It is in place now. and has been for for quite some time. No new legislation is needed. Just get them (the pilots) some training and turn them loose. Chalk up the WTC to bill clinton's gun confiscation attempts.

I would feel safer in an airplane knowing the pilot had a gun, then if all I had was a National ID card to protect me.
Unless the ID card was 6 feet high 3 feet wide and ½ inch thick steel plate.

Shut up, leftist parasites!
You're the Taliban of America!
