60,000 NRA members with an airplane? Not so bad.
It would be pretty difficult to do the kind of damage that was done on Monday at Virginia Tech with a single-engine Cessna. That's even if I filled the tanks and flew it into a building -- say, the one where 60,000 NRA members are gathering in St. Louis for their annual meetings.
Don't tempt me.
Now, I see that as hyperbole and don't think for a minute that this guy is really suggesting killing 60,000 people. However, I have a distinct feeling from reading his post that if someone were to do it, in his mind it would be justified.
It's funny how people think violence, when done with a particular tool, is bad unless that violence uses a different tool against a particular "enemy" (in this case, someone who disagrees with your point of view).
That's the difference between gun owners and non-gun owners. Us gunnies don't care if you don't own a gun.
