You have to have a certain kind of ammo, most bullets would pierce the fusalage of the plane and create a vacum casuing the plan to crash. If they had it, I think it would be low velocity it'd have to stop after a few feet, then the idea would work. If civilians onthe 9/11 planes had guns with low veolocity ammuntion, the terror could've been prevented.
Frangible ammunition that won't puncture an aircraft hull is
available.
"In the al-Qaeda manual on terror, they were telling people to go out and buy assault weapons, to come to America and buy assault weapons," Kerry said.

How many of us faced with a 911 type scenario will die trying to take the plane back rather than sit in our seats like so many sheep? I for one will follow the example of the Pensyvania flight and fight.

i dont think MORE guns solves the problem..say that some of those innocents on board those planes did get guns on board(with the special kind of ammo).do u not think that the animals who commited these acts would also have got guns on board..and they would not be fussy about the ammo..and they also had every intention to die during these acts..so it would not have mattered to them if they had a bomb/gun/boxcutter...IMO

A terrorist is not visible until he stands up, goes to the pilot and threatens him.

As usual, Americans oversimplify and overgeneralize in order to support certain agentas.
