Tell that to all the families of all the people who would die if everyone were allowed to carry a gun onto a plane. You do realize that there are unbalanced people in the world, right? And that ONE - ONE - ONE bullet can depressurize a plane and kill everyone on board, before all the rational cowbo...

If they are acting on impulse and don't have the means available to them, they won't because they can't! I do not want to make it easy for them. ;) The means are always available - the person is the weapon, not the tool. A gun is a tool as is a knife, club or shard of glass. A gun gives a 100lb wom...

OMG, you indeed understand my point about the 1st amendment. I intended to be absurd. From wikipedia: If there were no limits on one constitutional right, freedom of the press, then the press would be able to go anywhere they chose, at any time. To follow the logic that rights cannot be restricted,...

I grew up in a house full of guns. I learned how to shoot quail using a 12-gauge shotgun and varmints with a .22 and deer with a 30-ought-six. We lived on a farm and had them for hunting as well as personal protection (there were human varmints, too). But guns should have sensible restrictions, the...
