Default OK, what the hell has happened to the Brits?

Now the British airline pilots are considering refusingto fly if there is an
armed security guard on a flight, citing the danger of a gunshot in a
pressurized airliner.

What?

Are they using "Goldfinger" as a training film there now?

Or has hoplophobia just turned their minds to goo?

I think there are two issues in play. 1) No one is happy that the US
is basically issuing an order to other nations. 2) Most of the EU nations
(and people raises in them) are VERY anti-gun (to the point of being
afriad of guns, that is fear of the object itself).

Are you saying those who do not carry guns are afraid, and those
carrying guns brave? It seems the other way round to me.



Those who will defend their lives and those of others are brave and those who
depend on the good will of monsters or the bravery of others for their safety
are cowards.

I see no reason for the US to cater to the mental diseases of Europeans. And


what is the mental disease here? I can't follow you there.
Or do you mean you are only sane when carrying a weapon?

fear of an inanimate object carried by an officer of the law *is* delusional.


I avoid everybody carrying a weapon. And as long as I can decide it (!)
nobody with a weapon is entering my house, my office or sitting in my car.
And I turn away from everybody carrying a weapon, I also avoid beeing too
close to cops carrying a weapon.

That works only so long as you do not encounter anyone who doesn't care what
you decide. But from that point on, you are either his slave or dead.

What do you do when those that carry guns don't give a damn what you decide?

aaahh! now comes logic from cold war. Give everybody a nuke, but give me
one nuke more than him.

or: ... Zombie (The Cranberries)

to your question: so I should arm myself and my family and first shoot,
then ask? I don't want to life in such a world. Thank you.
