Were Guns Deliberately Left out of the Official 9-11 Story
To prevent 9-11 from being used to leverage gun control legislation?

In Michael Ruppart's book "Crossing the Rubicon" he tells of an initial report of a passenger on Flight 11 shooting another passenger. That detail was ignored/suppressed.

I've wondered if any mention of guns was purged from the official version of the story, so there would be no motivation from 9-11 for gun control.

Ashcroft went ape shit with just about EVERYTHING in the Bill of Rights EXCEPT the Second Amendment. It's glaringly obvious. So many fundamental freedoms were trampled but gun rights were not touched.

Without the idea that 'Bush will let us keep our guns/Kerry will take away our guns' the 2004 Election would not have been nearly as close. That issue alone was likely 20 - 40% of Bush's support, IMHO.

1. Kerry tried to assuage the gun owners
and industry. No one, including Kerry, fought for any kind of gun control. I agree, many people voted for Shrubbie via/because of the NRA.

2. Daniel Lewin was shot in the head
by the passenger behind him.

This was in the initial report, but disappeared thereafter,

Interestingly, Lewin was a member of the Israeli army or secret service when younger; also CEO of Akamai (Hawaiian for "snappy living") a service to deliver high volume web traffic efficiently by mirroring content and dynamically routing the traffic.

Lewin made millions off the tech bubble - Akamai went public just before the bubble burst.

3. Perhaps gun talk silenced because of how they got on board.
One question even satan's monkey might ask is who snuck them on board?

My guess would be Cater-Air, the Carlyle connected food services company owned by the big money boys.

4. Wasn't there even an al Qaeda training manual
that pointed out the U.S. was a good place to get guns because of their abundance and little gun control? Seems I read that someplace. And reports that some terrorists did some training in the South someplace because guns were commonplace and nobody batted an eye?
