AIRCRAFT: A lethal weapon

How many shots from firearms killed those 3,000-plus innocent people on 9/11/01? Not one shot!

Have we forgotten that on that day, terrorists turned four jet aircraft into weapons of mass destruction and killing the innocent? If outlawing, banning firearms, then aircraft should be included or limit their use.

The aircraft is as dangerous as a firearm, automobile, etc., when in the hands of the wrong people.

Why should we permit the minority of non-supporters of the Second Amendment dictate over the majority of supporters? This is not a democracy.

Research has proven that cities with the strictest gun control laws have the highest crime rates.

I urge contacting our state and federal politicians to listen to us and use common sense when making decisions that affect us Idahoans and all law-abiding American citizens.

Act now or it could be too late.
