I've resisted jumping in in this fashion, but -

FREE MEN OWN GUNS!

Those who will trade essential freedoms for temporary security deserve
neither - Benjamin Franklin.

Folks, the 2nd Amendment pre-dates the wild west by a long time.  Those of
us who value our RIGHTS are tired of the wimps in the world trying to take
them away.

Subject: stun guns on aircraft



and other safety considerations

keep the hijackers off planes using ground security

an airplane in flight is not the place to have gun fights

too many lives are at risk

the first priority is to get the plane safely on the ground, anywhere

then at least the passengers have a chance

Most citizens of most countries enjoy the security that comes from having
thrashed out land rights, territorial disputes, and the systems of law and
law enforcement before firearms were invented.

America is one of the few places in the West that relies on firearms as a
negotiating tool.
This is poor judgement. 
Firearms are offensive weapons not negotiating tools. 
Giving someone a gun escalates an already dangerous situation. 
Now you want the pilot to not only assure the safety of the plane but also
be an effective executioner. 
Asking too much IMHO.
Unfortunately America was taken by force and is defended by force and is
unlikely ever to change.
