You can kill thousands with a car or van as was seen in the first trade center bombings. There are limits to what any person or group of people can stop from happening. There will always be a way to do terrorist deeds, the gun should not be singled out as the means by which we measure these deeds,
If there were people on those planes with guns, who knows what could have occurred, you can't tell me it would have been worse than what it was.
At least there would have been a chance of stopping them.
I am not saying that a terrorist can't get a permit, but that goes with anything. Creating an equal footing discourages this kind of behavior, as no one would be able to "plan" something , not knowing if they would be stopped by others in the midst of carrying out their purpose.
It's just the same as being any place else. Bank, Wal-Mart, plane, any place can be a target, with armed trained people with weapons, it minimizes the threat, not the other way around.
