Per the OPs original question, the hoops aren't necessary because it's the plane's fault anyway.

Pie in the sky. False sense of security.

Maybe some others here can relate.

The AK-47 was developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1944. Two years later, the rifle was presented for official military trials, and in 1947, the fixed stock version was introduced into service with select units of the Red Army (the folding stock model was developed later).

The Soviet 7.62x39mm rifle cartridge was designed in 1943 during World War II and first used in the SKS (an AK-47-type gun) carbine.

100% false. As gun ownership has increased by 50%, the gun homicide rate has DECREASED by 50% and the nonfatal violent gun crimes rate has DECREASED by 76%.

Guns Owned Per Person vs. Gun Homicide Rate

Gun violence trend since the 1990s
