THANKS and welcome aboard, Captain. But it’s “its heritage, not “it’s heritage”.

  Thanks grammar nazi.

  It doesn’t follow his nation’s grammatical laws.

    I thought the same thing, and only considered posting the correction myself because he also said, “I am intelligent.” I’m certainly NOT saying that’s not the case!!! This is a common mistake. But… “its” is possessive (its laws, its heritage) and “it’s” is a contraction for “it is.”
    
    I say swap out the photo before the anti-gun types use it as another way to detract from actual, meaningful debate by name calling and diverting questions.

      Beat me to it. He shouldn’t declare how intelligent he is while simultaneously failing to run a spell check. While irrelevant to the discussion of firearms, the antis love this sort of oversight.

I will bet you that this guy gets grief from his employer over this post.

  Lots of pro gun guys in the airlines. He might have someone say something to him if they see this website, but they’ll probably be similarly minded.

  Hopefully not. After 9/11, I can’t see why any sensible airline would NOT let their pilots choose to arm themselves.
  
  Thanks, UAL767Driver! Awesome to know pilots like you are keeping our travels safe, in more way than one.

What is up with the incorporation of God into a lot of these? You think God gave you your rights but what about the people dying elsewhere in the world? He doesn’t care about them?

I get that he can say what he wants but it just seems a bit classless.
- Terra Nullius January 25, 2013 At 19:30
  
  RandomString, he is correct. The framers believed that our rights came from God not from the government. That is the power of the 2nd amendment. As far as people dying elsewhere in the world, God does care about them but His time hasn’t come yet. As the Bible says, Satan is the ruler of this world at this time but that will change.

  God. God. God. God. God. Deal with it.
  - RandomString January 25, 2013 At 22:02
    
    Please stop persecuting me.
    
    /me rolls eyes
    
    If people are going to shove their religion in others’ faces then they shouldn’t get butthurt when people comment on it.
    
    In your own words, they should “Deal with it.”
    - Joke & Dagger January 25, 2013 At 22:53
      
      Didn’t see any “shoving” of God. Simply professed his love of God. God. God. God. God.
    - Randy Drescher January 25, 2013 At 22:57
      
      Yeah, If there actually was a god the arguing would make some sense, Randy

      Are you sure?
Lance January 25, 2013 At 20:16
