Those microphones need a haircut! :eek:

She doesn't. She came out and stated she doesn't want another AWB. She wants to stay in power and she remembers what happened the last time when the AWB was passed.

That is why they are going after the ammo this time; their 1st shot was a misfire.

The reasons are not for public dissemination, nor do they need justification on a public thread. If that doesn't please you; oh well.

Yes I do. Having recently appointed "Bob" as my Minister of Information, I plan on trotting him out whenever the waters become muddied by conflicting dispatches from the front. He is a rock we can cling to for stability and valuable information during these difficult times. Many of you know him as the "gold standard" for truth and diplomacy.

I would like to say thank you for volunteering! Also, even though I'm not a chick, if I ever met you I would buy you a beer (although before you get too excited, that would probably be the extent of our relationshiphttp://www.airlinepilotforums.com/im...ons/icon10.gif)!


Anyway, I have given some thought to this controversial subject, and I believe that I have come up with the ideal solution, at least for passenger airlines (I know that this is the cargo section, but I'll have to work on that one later). My idea is to hand out loaded guns to all of the passengers. Now I know that some of you may think that this is silly, but please bear with me as I explain. Handguns could be issued by the gate agents as the people board the aircraft, or the flight attendants could pass them out (wrapped in clear plastic bags like the headphones) once everyone is seated. The airline could charge a nominal fee for a "rental" (the gun would be returned after landing), and they could charge an additional fee if the passenger wanted to take it home as a souvenir (like those little plastic wings that they give to the kids). Also, the airline could put its logo on all of the guns, which would be great advertising! With this extra revenue, the airline could afford to raise the pilots' salaries. Once all of the passengers were seated and armed, little annoying situations (e.g. unwelcome sexual advances, unruly kids) could be dealt with swiftly and severely. Air rage will be a thing of the past! In the worst case scenario, if terrorists try to take over the plane, they will get blown away by the fat shower curtain ring salesman in seat 17B! Pilots could then just concentrate on flying the plane. Passengers will further benefit if they take the guns home. Not only are guns more fun than the previously mentioned plastic wings, but they are also more useful. Just think how handy it would be to have one of your new airline pistols if you caught your spouse sleeping with one of your neighbors from the trailer park! Or if you went out to the "Quick-Mart" and found yourself a little short of change, you could still walk away with those lottery tickets and a carton of cigarettes! Perhaps the best thing as a result of this policy will be the elimination of TSA/airport security. No more long lines of people waiting to be cavity-searched! And the federal government will save so much money from the elimination of FAMs and TSA at the airports, that they will be able to pay off part of social security (or at least bail out more industries!). http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/im...ons/icon10.gif

The strawman can be a great source of humor.:)

I don't know, there would be less muggings of tourists and we would not have to spend as much on incarcerations. I like it.

Someone please give Archie a medal. He has been waiting far too long.

Wow, tough crowd here at APC tonight!!!

Thank you! I never thought of this!

used to be called flightinfo.com. Flightinfo started charging so here you go...you get what you pay for.

Archie was awarded a medal consisting of the two crossed swords of common sense and righteous indignation, a rare award and he was able to avoid the associated cluster. Wear it proudly!:D

Well done Jungle, I knew someone would come through.
Next one is for "Courage", and after that a "Brain", then a 'Heart".
:-)

True dat! Just wish it were allowed internationally!:(

No, just ridiculous to believe that it could happen.

You obviously have never read about the New Orleans Gun Grab. How many more judges have to be changed before the right to bear arms becomes a privledge (like driving)? By my count 1.

Don't worry the going to get you're gun?
 

Don't worry they are going to get your gun! You can count on it.

Ban List Is Out

Here it is, folks, and it is bad news. The framework for legislation is always laid, and the Democrats have the votes to pass anything they want to impose upon us. They really do not believe you need anything more than a brick to defend your home and family. Look at the list and see how many you own. Remember, it is registration, then confiscation. It has happened in the UK, in Australia, in Europe, in China, and what they have found is that for some reason the criminals do not turn in their weapons, but will know that you did.

Remember, the first step in establishing a dictatorship is to disarm the citizens.

Gun-ban list proposed. Slipping below the radar (or under the short-term memory cap), the Democrats have already leaked a gun-ban list, even under the Bush administration when they knew full well it had no chance of passage (HR 1022, 110th Congress). It serves as a framework for the new list the Brady's plan to introduce shortly. I have an outline of the Brady's current plans and targets of opportunity. It's horrific. They're going after the courts, regulatory agencies, firearms dealers and statutes in an all out effort to restrict we the people. They've made little mention of criminals. Now more than ever, attention to the entire Bill of Rights is critical. Gun bans will impact our freedoms under search and seizure, due process, confiscated property, states' rights, free speech, right to assemble and more, in addition to the Second Amendment. The Democrats current gun-ban-list proposal (final list will be worse):

Streetsweeper. Catch-all category (for anything missed or new designs):

A semiautomatic rifle that accepts a detachable magazine and has:
(i) a folding or telescoping stock,
(ii) a threaded barrel,
(iii) a pistol grip (which includes ANYTHING that can serve as a grip, see
below),
(iv) a forward grip; or a barrel shroud.
Any semiautomatic rifle with a fixed magazine that can accept more than
10 rounds (except tubular magazine .22 rim fire rifles).
A semiautomatic pistol that has the ability to accept a
detachable magazine, and has:
(i) a second pistol grip,
(ii) a threaded barrel,
(iii) a barrel shroud or
(iv) can accept a detachable magazine outside of the pistol grip, and
(v) a semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10

(iii) the ability to accept a detachable magazine or a fixed magazine capacity
of more than 5 rounds, and

Frames or receivers for the above are included, along with conversion kits.

Attorney General gets carte blanche to ban guns at will: Under the proposal, the U.S. Attorney General can add any "semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General."


Note that Obama's pick for this office, Eric Holder, wrote a brief in the Heller case supporting the position that you have no right to have a working firearm in your own home. In making this determination, the bill says, "there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event." In plain English this means that ANY firearm ever obtained by federal officers or the military is not suitable for the public.
That word... ANY... does that mean clear back to Flint Locks...???

The last part is particularly clever, stating that a firearm doesn't have a sporting purpose just because it can be used for sporting purpose -- is that devious or what? And of course, "sporting purpose" is a rights infringement with no constitutional or historical support whatsoever, invented by domestic enemies of the right to keep and bear arms to further their cause of disarming the innocent.

Gentlemen please, there is no need to bicker. A quick check of voting records will show without doubt that none of them are seeking to take your money or guns! You have my word on this!
