Okay Mr. Emotional,
Nothing he said was anti gun or anti gun nut. They were simple facts. The guy was inattentive, and lost his gun, period. Quit living in denial.
Just using a little common sense would tell you that it is extremely unlikely that an FFDO will ever have to use their weapon to defend the aircraft. He is more likely to shoot his eye out.
Strike 2 for the FFDO program. This program needed to be canceled yesterday. Guns don't belong in the cockpit.
The FFDO program is only for Junior G-Man Rambo wannabe's that want an excuse to carry a badge and a gun.
Take your knee-jerk reactionary comments somewhere else.
(BTW; I am a gun owning supporter of the second amendment)
If you are over 13, and carry a backpack, you need counseling.

1) It is also extremely unlikely that you would have a multitude of emergencies on today's modern aircraft. Yet, there exists the means to deal with them via procedures and aircraft back up systems.
So, because one is anti FFDO program mean they're not a proactive American?? Yeah right!That is how we roll, as proactive Americans. You must hate that. It's just so...unilateral, eh?
Nope. The one he responded to only stated facts. Read it again....this time without being half-cocked with YOUR bias.2) His comment was no more emotional than the one that prompted it. In fact, it was a mirror image, which is apparent to those who are not infested with bias, such as yourself. Your post, on the other hand, was dripping with emotion. Pot, meet kettle.
Thanks!3) I loved your brilliant use of the Christmas Story argument against firearm implementation!
4) Your statist posts are very consistent. Your logic would suggest that your advice to rape victims is "sit back and enjoy it!"
I am neither a Rambo wanna be or an agent wanna be, and never owned a gun. Personally, if TSA fails at screening and the FAMs fail, and the door fails, I want 37 opportunities to prevent the airplane from being used again as a WMD. Hopefully it will be a long uneventful career as an FFDO should I persue it.
That's why I am interested in the program and considering it.
Two questions for the guys against the FFDO program:
1) Were you an airline pilot on 9/11?
2) Have you applied to the program?
Where do I start showing you he is anti gun, let me think, oh, how about when he said:Okay Mr. Emotional,

not enough anti gun sentiment?The Gun Nuts will be on here in 3...2...1...
Just another example of why guns shouldn't be on aircraft
Thank you mister "I'll keep my guns as long as nobody else gets to have guns". Not very second ammendment now, is it?On the bright side...at least he didn't shoot a hole thru the cockpit floor...

or maybe here then:

"Junior G man wnna be", wow, what a well thought hyberbole, not.
On second thought, you're right. You're much better off when someone else does your thinking and talking for you.I want to personnaly thank tweaker for doing a much finer job of ripping apart your baseless thoughts.
Yet another reason why I don't want to be an FFDO. Liability.
NEVERTHELESS, the FFDO program is unnecessary and creates more hazard than it prevents. Your example contains an unlikely sequence of failures...namely the door. Besides, after the 9-11 attacks, a takeover of the airplane by hijackers is all but impossible. It has been demonstrated that passengers will intervene.
OK, perhaps I went too far with the Rambo thing. I am sure most FFDO's and FFDO wannabees are well intentioned.
