If your justification for gun ownership is "protection from terrorism", then how can this work when you can't take your gun on an aeroplene to protect yourself from box cutter wielding towel heads?
You should be lobbying for the right to bear arms whilst enjoying the benefits of air travel. Then ofcourse, the Ayatolla's would be enjoying the same rights and you would still be toast....

Victor, you don't get it...I have no need to "justify" my ownership of guns, nor my reasons for owning them. You see, I was born in the U.S.A., I'm a citizen, not a subject, of that country. As a citizen, I am guaranteed the right to keep and bear arms under the constitution of MY country. Should you find yourself flying in U.S.A airspace? Keep in mind that it may not be only the pilot who has a handgun. It's not advertised who is carrying and who isn't. Your original argument was that handguns could not have prevented 9-11-01...I refuted that. Pretty damned well, I think, by pointing out that one person with a handgun has an edge over terrorists with box cutters. Now, you're changing the argument? Even a dumb hillbilly can see through that one...
