U.S. lawmakers study arming cargo ships to fight pirates - National public safety | Examiner.com: "Some U.S. government officials are seriously considering permitting American registered cargo ships to carry weapons to defend themselves from international piracy especially off the coast of Somalia and northern Africa.
