This is despite the fact that there are hundreds of possible violent incidents that can occur, and for which the government has failed to address, because they have not happened yet.

"Me and my kind" lol.
I agree with you, but I also am willing to bet that you would be the first one screaming his head off if the same tactic of attack could be used 3 times in a row on an airline. Its easy enough to yell that nohing can be done when you don't have to be the one responsible for dealing with the results of any of this violence.
Anything the government does after the fact is reactive, and they have a fine line to walk between making air travel safe and limiting its utility.
For the record, I'm for modification and tighter national control on gun ownership, specifially tracking owneship, and id love inability to purchase ammuntion without present documentation that its for your gun you actually own.
I'm for no one owning ay dam handguns of any kind. The difference between me and 2nd amendment folk is I still see the value of compromise, and compromised modification of the second amendment is definitely in order.
What I'm not for, Is turning the nations schools into fortresses because we are too cowardly to face the real battle that needs to be fought. When the second amendment was writting, the united states was a fragile weak edifice at the mercy of the world wth less people than in the NY metropolitan area alone these days. Times have changed, there's no frontier, and we aren't all trappers and small holding farmers anymore
