Obama secretly ends program that let pilots carry guns

EDITORIAL: Guns on a plane

After the September 11 attacks, commercial airline pilots were allowed to carry guns if they completed a federal-safety program. No longer would unarmed pilots be defenseless as remorseless hijackers seized control of aircraft and rammed them into buildings.

Now President Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti-gun ideology.

Wow! I feel so much safer now that barry is in power!

Haven't seen this show up anywhere else. If it's true, wouldn't it be nice to see some logic attached to support the decision? Or is it just something he read on his teleprompter?

Why not just make planes with a separate entrance and lavatory for the pilots?

Oh, but that would make sense.

It's been widely reported everywhere except the mainstream media. They don't want to bruise barry's fragile ego, and all.

It just keeps getting better. barry intends on making America "Stronger and Respected" by releasing terrorists into our midst. barry made plans to close Guantanamo without an exit strategy, and now is just making it up as he goes along.

Meanwhile, it's fun to watch the democrat party throw each other under the bus over the whole AIG fiasco....
