Why can't the airlines pay for their training? Or the pilots themselves?How many people do you know can always "properly aim" a bullet?
A lot less now that we've taken money from their training.
OMG, OBAMA CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING!!!
Washington Times - EDITORIAL: Guns on a plane
Much more at link.The Obama administration this past week diverted some $2 million from the pilot training program to hire more supervisory staff, who will engage in field inspections of pilots.
So, what the hell is this? Disarm the pilots, none of which have ever abused their authority, not even so much as brandished their weapons?
What say you?

Meh ... guns in planes are bad anyway. Anyone stupid enough to fire one while in the air is pretty much not worth having as a pilot. If someone does hijack the plane with a gun while it's in the air just let go of the controls and disengage auto-pilot ... at that point I would dare them to fire with an evil grin.
Oh yeah... I'd rather have the plane flown into a building and die in a fire ball than have a pilot shoot a terrorist and save us all.
What do you think the pilot training was for?
Well, MM...are you going to correct your thread title or not?
That's your opinion. I'm good with federal marshalls...pilots aren't the po-lice and they shouldn't be used as such.Why can't the airlines pay for their training? Or the pilots themselves?A lot less now that we've taken money from their training.

Became a national defense issue. Government needs to make sure pilots are capable of defending American lives while aboard the planes. Same way pay to train the cops who keep us safe on the ground.
OMG OBAMA CUT THE WRONG GOVERNMENT SPENDING
Properly aimed bullet will not bring down a plane

How many people do you know can always "properly aim" a bullet?

I've never been on Air Force One, but I'd bet that a goodly proportion of the people on it are armed.

I think he's anti American too. Everything he is doing is going to bring America down.
Way to go.

Obama is afraid of guns. He's probably going to die by one. I've said for awhile now that my bet is he'll be assassinated.
He is anti gun. always has been.
I think he's anti American too. Everything he is doing is going to bring America down.
In all fairness, I don't think he thinks that will happen, so I don't think that's his actual goal.
In other words, he's not anti-American. He's just dumb and misguided.

Yes he is. What do you think his "Change" is all about. In his peabrain and his wifes peabrain America ia a downright mean country and needs changing. It won't be recognizable when he gets through.
Why is the government so stupid? What did the pilots do to provoke this dumb law? Did they shoot a passenger, the copilot, anyone? Did they threaten anyone? No. This is another attempt to "bring down taxes" by not having protection for pilots if something ever, God forbid, happened on another airplane. Does he not care if there is another 9/11? Does he not want our pilots to be able to protect themselves? And yet another wonderful idea from our government.
If this sort of terrorism was commonplace then an armed federal agent should be aboard each plane. And no, private employees should not be enforcing federal terrorism laws.Why is the government so stupid? What did the pilots do to provoke this dumb law?

No, of course they didn't. The pilots have been well trained and have acted completely appropriately with the firearms they carry. But, let's see if they can keep up that record without training. Once there's an incident, then they have an excuse to end the program.
And contrary to what some fool said on here, the Pilots don't have guns to act like the "po-lice" that have guns to act as the last vestige of hope in a dire situation.
