Firing a gun in a pressurised plane would be insanity , hit a window or put a hole in the fuselage and the plane is going down. You also have the problem of a hijacker relieving a member of the crew of thier firearm and using it against them.

If you believe that then you are very naive , your goverment does not fear you in the least and if there was an uprising you can bet your bottom dollar that they would stamp on it just like them there Yankees did when the south decided they wanted freedom from the north.

If guns weren't so freely available then perhaps the US would see less school massacres and accidental deaths.

More guns means it's easier for the retards to get hold of them.
