List of places no one should be allowed to possess a firearm:

You have been watching too many movies. That blow a hole in the fuselage and everyone dies is utter and complete nonsense. The plane would depressurize and the oxygen masks would drop down and no one would get sucked out.

And what happens when the guy who wants to end it decides to blow a hole in the fuselage and kills 300+ other passengers?

Shoot a hole in a tank filled with kerosene, see if it catches on fire. Only problem would be a leak.

My bad. Should read "blows a hole in a fuel tank located in the fuselage." Or a window which would cause the whole cabin to depressurize and possibly cause severe problems. I guess catastrophy may not be gauranteed , but I still am ok with airplane prohibitions.

Yeah, Mythbusters pretty much debunked the hole depressurization thing. The windows are polycarbonate over glass, so shooting one makes a caliber-sized hole, not much else.
