BUSHTHINK: Leave the loophole in gun shows
but don't arm airline pilots
Bushthink. No laws preventing people buying/selling guns anonymously at
gun shows or anywhere else. We better get used to it so we can understand it. Bush wants
what the NRA, National Rifle Association, wants. No laws preventing people buying/selling
guns anonymously at gun shows or anywhere else. This sweet little loophole is how the Columbine
killers obtained their guns. So if Bush feels it's OK for high school kids from Colorado to buy guns,
what's to stop any terrorist from doing the same thing?
Bushthink: Airline pilots shouldn't have guns in the cockpit. El-Al Airlines, the Israeli airline, thinks
differently and has not had an airline incident in 20 years. El-Al's cockpit doors impenetrable,
pilots are armed and several armed sky marshals are usually seated among passengers. U.S. airline cockpit
doors are now locked, after 9-11, with a flimsy device. But Bush doesn't want pilots armed to protect passengers.
Why not? The answer has to be the NRA.
