TeeS The point I was making is that the constitution gives ALL Americans the right to bear arms so legislators cannot stop US citizens carrying guns even though some, plus the President, would like to do so, The shootings reflect the consequences of a document drawn up over 250 years ago on modern society.

No such restriction or historical process relates to flying singles over cities. If the US President or lawmakers thought there were a danger, they could promote or enact restrictive legislation. They have not.

So Hughes500 was correct in drawing attention to the fact that a litigious society has not seen fit to restrict singles. It appears lawmakers do not see it as a risk needing proscription, whereas many have the opposite view over gun control. Your comment drawing parallels to gunlaw was therefore incorrect
