This would be the typical answer from a GA pilot. For the vast majority of
non-pilots (which is reality), they have NOTHING to lose by shutting down GA. The benefits for them are clear -- elimination of another threat which they have no knowledge about. On the other hand, guns or other items which could be used to kill are owned by a large diverse group of people. Trying to ban those could be highly detrimental to a politicians career if not worse. For us, the answer is clear, as you have put it below, try to look at it from the other side of the chainlink fence. The AOPA and the few in government interested in aviation are the only people standing between us and the shutting down of GA as we know it. "C J Campbell" wrote in message ... You can also drive down a street shooting people at random and there is not much anybody can do to stop you. Sure, it is possible to use small aircraft for a terrorist attack. The question is, what do you do about it? There is really not much of anything anyone can do to prevent it. Maybe the asteroid is coming, but I am not going to spend a lot of time worrying about it. |
