And if fedgov had not systematically disarmed every LAW-ABIDING person who flew, 9-11 would never have happened. If just ONE PERSON on each of those flights had been armed, we would not even be having this discussion. We would have had 19 dead or captured WANNABEE hijackers and that would have been that. (Bear in mind that these were not BOMBERS, as such, but wannabee martyrs who wanted to do what they did.) A return to individual liberty is just EXACTLY what the doctor ordered! I wonder why you say it as if it were a BAD thing...
“If just ONE PERSON on each of those flights had been armed, we would not even be having this discussion. We would have had 19 dead or captured WANNABEE hijackers and that would have been that.”
And, each of the hijackers would also have been armed. Five versus one. Net result, ‘ONE PERSON’ with a lot of holes. The problem is, if you allow arms on planes, then you allow armed hijackers on planes.
BTW, I thought Paul was rather clear that he wasn’t advocating armed passengers but armed flight crews. You probably should check the transcript.
