EDITORIAL: Guns on a plane
Obama secretly ends program that let pilots carry guns
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.
The Obama administration this past week diverted some $2 million from the pilot training program to hire more supervisory staff, who will engage in field inspections of pilots.

I am speechless. Speechless I say.
I know... impossible... but it happens.
Are these the actions of an irresponsible politician pandering to his leftard handlers? Or perhaps he is on a delusional crusade against handguns?
The funding for the program was diverted so they could hire more inspectors for pilots. Fact check: number of airliners hijacked by their pilots in the history of commercial aviation in the US... ZERO.
Harass the pilots, pander to terrorism.
With all the trouble facing this country... terrorism and the threat of it being one of those troubles... why was this so important to accomplish in his first days in office?
Barack Hussein Obama... returning us to 9/10
