Why Aren’t Guns Allowed in Airplanes ?

So am I correct in assuming you can conceal carry anywhere that is not explicitly prohibited?

Hey! That wasn’t so bad. Thanks

Not a joke. What’s the difference between taking down a plane and blowing a whole bunch of people away at a supermarket?

With over 350 million in the U.S. 20 or 200 is not such a big difference

Funny how there are some places that restrict guns to keep people safe.

A bit of a reversal from the beliefs of gun owners and an observation some gun owners want to dance around because they know the best was to keep people safe if keeping people safe were the top goal

You are so close yet so far away from understanding the issue. You could figure this out if you simply freed your mind. 

There are different rules because there are different situations. Planes can and need to prohibit active guns because the response time to an active situation can be often quite long. What may come as an additional surprise (shock?) is they prohibit all weapons. Yep, even those that might be a weapon. Box cutters, normal size toothpaste, ignition devices...Again, the response time is not the best at 30,000 feet. As it turns out, guns are a tool for the evil. Take the gun and they simple pick (choose) a different tool. The goal isn't to use a gun, the goal is to cause harm. There's only so many backpack pressure cookers that can be declared completely safe. 

Once all the guns are gone, the quest moves on to the next tool. Already the UK is addressing the volume of deaths caused by blades by banning the next tool on the list. 

Tool after tool. And the culture of death, like pushing water uphill, remains ever persistent..

An obvious troll thread by the anti-gun OP...

But, he indirectly, and undoubtedly unintentionally, makes a good observation.

Like many businesses, campuses, etc. there are strict rules regarding carrying weapons onto airplanes. So what's different? The difference is they're enforced. Here enforced through metal detection, screening and body scans.

I can't carry a seemingly harmless jackknife into an airplane but Johnny Shooter can walk into an elementary school with a loaded firearm... Why?! How?!

The schools are at fault for not deploying metal detectors.  Everywhere we go, we need metal detectors?

How about just get rid of the metal?  That was easy

Never! From my cold, dead headbanging hands!!!!!!!

Why?  They don't want to be safe? 

Excellent observation.  Anywhere people want to be truly safe, they ban guns.
