Bush Administration flip-flop?

Instapundit asks: Is the Bush Administration flip-flopping on the Second Amendment?. Story is here.

Basically, FAA, in precribing rules for space pilots, and forbidding them to be armed (so much for Star Trek), went out of its way to assert the "collective right" theory.

UPDATE: David Codrea emails the FAA and is told the rule was approved by the Executive Office of the President. Of course, this may just mean that some overworked fellow got a stack of papers relating to rules for private space flight on his desk, knowing nothing of the subject, gave it a quick read and signed off.
