Unforatunately, I don't meet many aircraft owners and pilots with the
same degree of passion about protecting their freedoms, and would be
willing to make calls and send notes to their congressional reps.

It probably has something to do with the fact that gun owners KNOW that they
have an inalienable right to bear arms and nothing some scum sucking lawyer
of a politician will be able to do to take away that right no matter what
laws they try to pass... It is our firm belief that if the law is morally
wrong, we do not have a duty to follow that law...

Pilots on the other hand (for the most part) have been brainwashed into
thinking that they do not have flying RIGHTS, rather a LICENSE from the
government... As such, it can be taken away on whatever whim might afflict
the government at that time... This sort of mentality also leads them into a
belief that they shouldn't complain too loudly else the FAA might take
notice of them and deem them unfit to be a *licensed* pilot anymore... If
they considered it a *right*, they would still continue to fly regardless of
what some petty bureaucrat with the FAA might say...
