Hello Chris, (...) Given the fact that even in the Sep. 11 disaster, less people were probably killed than are killed in a "normal" year by use of guns in the US, I tend to prefer NOT to legalize taking firearms into planes.

Hello Eric, (...) I find "pacifism" a gross mischaracterization of the US reaction to islamistic terror in the past.
