Despite the 2nd Amendment, we don't let people carry guns and grenades on
airplanes either.

Yeah, the 2nd Amendment has been slowly eroded by all the ****in'
leftists... They can't quite understand that "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" means
EXACTLY that... There's no EXCEPT WHEN CONVENIENT" clause to it...

Collateral damage.

And considering the liberal cesspool that is DC, it would be ACCEPTABLE
collateral damages...

Yep, Lincoln proved that the concept of States Rights was just a fiction...
All in all considered, HE is the one who started the War of Northern

3. Light aircraft are a possible means of delivering a weapon of some
kind.

So are every car, van, SUV and truck driving around in DC. And most of
them can carry a lot more explosive payload than the overwhelming majority
of GA aircraft.

This argument sounds amazingly like the Army/Navy brass, back in the 1920s,
when they were trying to pooh-pooh Billy Mitchell's theory that an aircraft
could sink battleships, which, at the time, were thought to be impregnable
from the air.

Obviously, history teaches us that aircraft turned out to be the ultimate
battlefield weapons, and control of the air is now considered essential to
any battle.

Bottom line: It's relatively easy to secure land targets from Ryder trucks,
but it's very difficult to secure them from a Cherokee Six filled with
anthrax and C-4.

THAT is why we have an ADIZ over D.C., and anyone who argues otherwise is
only fooling themselves.

Following that line of reasoning, there should be a no-fly zone around
DC, and a huge ADIZ around every major city in the country.

The price of freedom is... well... freedom.

Oh! If you say so, sir!

Nope, you got it wrong. With that line of reasoning, you'd be living in a
dictatorship real quick.

I don't have a problem with an ADIZ. The problem I have is that
airliners which can carry more explosives than a Ryder truck are
allowed to fly in it, but GA planes are not.

Chicago's King Daley's assertions notwithstanding, no other city in
America has the concentration of power that presents such an obvious
and inviting target for (another) terrorist attack.

As with so many things in a democracy, the ADIZ currently in place is
an imperfect compromise between absolute freedom, and absolute
prohibition.
