I never said Air Marshalls were on ALL flights. What I said, was that they were on a good number of "high-risk" flights. I'm thinking terrorists know that between armed Air Marshalls, and the fact that US Citizens aren't going to just roll over and play dead anymore, that they are a bit deterred?
As for the post above about internet
gun sales in America. So what? I've bought many a firearm thru such
sites. Guess what? In each case, I've had to meet the seller at a
licensed Gun Shop, fill out ALL the required federal and state
paperwork, go thru an immediate insta-check, before I could walk out
with said firearm. Do you even know what you are talking about? The
people who sell their firearms without going thru the proper procedures,
are in fact - BREAKING THE LAW! I myself have put "For Sale" ads on
such sites. It is not illegal to sell your firearm. It is illegal to
sell it privately without going thru a BATF FFL licensed dealer in order
to do so. This is how BATF track ALL weapons. People breaking our laws
is what is causing a lot of this mess to begin with!!!!!! Criminals
do things criminally!! Felons don't purchase weapons honestly. Think
criminals in Ireland or Australia don't have firearms? It's this
ignorance and ignoring of the laws that we DO have in place that is
causing it to be bad for the majority of the law-abiding citizens in the
USA to continue to have firearms.
