If you appear to have an "anti-gun" stance on this board, it seems that you are instantly labeled a "fool" or worse by the pro-gun forces.

I'm not surprised. This bullying behaviour that is nothing more than an attempt to intimidate is directly in line with the gun culture mentality.

To those with such "closed minds" I say stop with the silly name calling and try to stick to the topic.

I don't care whether or not the direct victims of 9/11 care to consider the statistics or not. They aren't exactly prime candidates to consider when you want an objective opinion.

The hard facts are that statistically speaking, placing a gun in the cockpit over a long period of time will result in more deaths than terrorism.

Now, go ahead and aim your "internet gun" at me and call me a fool or whatever. It just solidifies my theory that gun nuts feel an overwhelming need to have a lethal weapon at their instant disposal to quell their paranoid fantasies no doubt ingrained by the self destructive gun culture they've been exposed to.

Isn't that latest Steven Segall flick great....
