But you are fine with a pilot taking medication the rest of his life? QuoteThat and that alone is enough to say he would still have the condition and needs to be watched closely and not given access to ways to efficiently kill a great number of people. So you would be fine with the FAA not allowing SSRI's? A depressed pilot could kill FAR more than any one lunatic with a firearm. The highest "rampage killer" killed 57 people in South Korea. Heck, a Saab 340B holds 40 people and that is FAR more than the average "lunatic with a gun". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaVinci 0 #78 April 12, 2011 QuoteWell, I'm glad you've come out in favor of allowing the mentally unstable have access to guns I am glad you have come out and said you are fine with allowing the mentally unstable to be pilots. I'm fairly certain the vast majority of the population would call that an extremist view. Thanks for clarifying your position. Fact is no one has said to let a mentally *unstable* person own a gun. Some have said that it might be a bit early to forever remove a right from an 8 year old without future data to see if he overcomes the issues.
