I love it when stupid people continue to spew stupid comments, and you never disappoint.
I fully support this kind of response. We have many regions in the US that need to be Napalmed. Who knows… it may come to this sooner than you think.
Hat on sideways, pants down to his knees, and pumping his gun hand back and forth like punching with each shot.
PDK in Atlanta use to have a garbage dump located at the airport… birds were the real airplane killer there. Now the VOR built on top of the old dump is an explosion hazard with the leaking methane gas from the dump.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to a King Air 200 cowling or even if there was damage to some part of the engine? What BS!!!. The actual loss might be to lost revenue and inability to acquire a replacement part these day, now that might be reasonable.
It’s a Red state! Nuff said!
Thanks, Kirk. I’ve updated the story.
Yeah, that gun control in Blue-State-Chicago has done wonders for public safety.
Chip is suffering from dementia. I am an octogenarian also and there’s no way I want to live in a country that tells me when, where, how much, I can shoot. Or when or if I can buy or sell my guns (plural). If that’s how you want to live then get going cause we don’t need you. May be we should turn over the whole country to the criminals and let them make the laws. Or maybe we should outlaw trucks and automobiles as there are thousands of time more people that are killed by them (or maybe their drivers) then by guns. Or maybe we should let women murder all the babies they want oh wait we already do. Maybe I should be allowed to murder my wife because she has become inconvenient to live with and is causing me a financial burden. Take all the guns from every lawful citizen and the gun deaths will not go down infact I predict that they will increase… Just my 50 cents worth.
Ouch.
Yes, YVR had a problem with seagulls nesting at the end of Point Grey and feeding at the garbage dump in Delta to the SE - flying across the airport between.
YVR has much experience with trying to control birds.
One day a Pacific Western Airlines 707 took birds into two engines soon after liftoff from YVR, shut down one, amazing the other kept running. Sickening to look at the engines on the ground. I said might as well just tape a cheque for a quarter million and ship it to the overhaul shop.
Hafta burn it to generate electricity, as done at the Victoria BC landfill.
Plumbing I don’t know how they did, but its Hartland facility of Capital Regional District.
Now they are trying to make a deal to feed it to the natural gas distributor.
So give us your report showing the bullet did not severely dent or penetrate the PT6 engine.
Hopefully, as America continues its downward slide into a third-world country, the FAA will get on board and introduce or mandate tactical approaches for certain cities.
I note no replies to your stats, so I will.
Well said!
It’s only a guess but maybe they’re venting against rich elites who have private airplanes.
Only way to stop a bad guy with a gun shooting at an airplane, is to have a good guy with a gun mounted on an airplane.
Sounds like you’re ready to repeal the second amendment.
Please advise how that works out for you.
YARS, I see no reason to repeal the Second Amendment, as archaic and irrelevant as it is. I was merely drawing a parallel between gun ownership and usage and aircraft ownership and usage.
But I do wish the spittle-spewing defenders of the Second Amendment knew a little history, or would read its entire text, starting with “A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State”. The framers were concerned about states having to defend themselves against a Federal army, and were reliant on volunteers who could form a loose (and temporary) local militia.
This has happened. Gov. Faubus activated the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine Black students from attending the Little Rock Central High School in 1954, despite the Supreme Court ruling striking down school segregation. Ike then sent in the 101st Airborne troops in to take over the Arkansas National Guard and to protect the students. So a lot of damn good it did Arkansas to have “a well regulated Militia”, ignorantly-applied as it was. BTW, the ANG had its own armory; they didn’t need its members to bring their own firearms.
At the time the Second Amendment was crafted, it was literally inconceivable that a teenager would take his deer-hunting musket into a school and kill children. And the pistols of the day were quite expensive and as likely to maim the shooter as hit its target.
As for “how it works out” for me, I (and every other American) are in far more daily danger from idiots with guns than the Army.
