Tennessean: Guns Worse Than 3,000 Dead
The Tennessean is so knee-jerk anti-guns that it said in today's editorial that, while guns in the cockpits might well have prevented 3,000 deaths on September 11, having guns in the cockpit that day would have been a bad idea.

Says the paper's editorialists: "The pilots who want to go armed ... argue that last Sept. 11 a gun in the cockpit could have made a big difference. That is true, but the next time, that same gun could make another situation more deadly."

More deadly than what? More deadly than September 11?
