Right. And the last major terror strike in the USA was a couple of planes flown into a couple of buildings.
Handguns would have been effective defense would they?

Against terrorists armed with box cutters? You betcher sweet ass they would have been! That is precisely why a buddy of mine, who is a pilot for a major USA airline, now carries a Sig in caliber .40 S&W when he's in the left seat. I know, locking the barn door after the livestock gets out. But IF those pilots had been carrying? 9-11-01 may not have happened. What's crazy about today's regs? He can carry the gun, but he'd be in deep doo-do if he had a small Gerber pocketknife I gave him. That has to stay home...The non logic of Government never ceases to amaze me...
