In this scenario, what part of the World Trade Center would have been
damaged?

(My original point had absolutely nothing to do with guns on airplanes. It
had to do with politicians using tragedies to further their mindless agendas
and their hollow careers.)

People do not use guns in aeroplanes for the specific reason that the
first shot fired invariably results in explosive decompression when the
bullet passes thru the hijacker and then the side of the aeroplane.
Result one dead hijacker and seconds later catasrophic failure of the
aeroplane structure and the crew/passengers are in free-fall.
