<<. I have never had any problems with police or the military - or now air marshals - having guns as they will have been security vetted. A gun license to me is similar to a driving or flying license (planes and autos are not dangerous only the persons handling them).>> If one of member of those air crews had been armed ... & they Aren't sky marshals or military. Next, you are off base in your comparison of driving a car to firearms ownership. Either driving or flying is a privilege, which under law may be subject to license by the government. Firearms ownership is a basic human right, the same as the freedom of religion or of speech or of assembly, which may not be infringed or abridged! Moreover your bigoted label of "Redneck" placed on anyone with which you disagree shows lack of depth, incorrect use oif the term "gun fair" for "gun show" indicates your lack of overall information on the subject, and use of twisted non-secific statistics on broad homicide which also includes all deaths which are other than "natual causes" show opinion oover fact. Yes, you & your ilk killed all those aboard the planes & in the twin towers through your desire to disarm all.
