“TSA confiscated record number of guns from airline passengers in 2022”

[archives]

The impression that the Mind Molders (nee journalists) are trying to leave is that all of these incidents were people trying to carry a gun into the cabin, which might be, that TSA is keeping us safe, but I doubt it is reality.

“which might be,” that’s a good reason to doubt those job is to protect Americans

I'll repeat myself because I feel that it's worth emphasizing.

I was introduced to commercial air travel in 1957.

It was far more pleasant then, even with propeller planes, than it is now.
That's simple fact.

Between cabins with at least a third more seats than comfortably fit
plus paranoia over security, commercial air travel is an abomination today.
I hate it so much that I can't even take a nice holiday anymore.

Given the vast failure and corruption of power in America doubting power is my civic duty.

“Transportation Security Administration officers confiscated more than 6,542 firearms from airport passengers in 2022 — the highest number recorded since the agency's inception. Of those guns taken at airport security checkpoints, 88% were loaded, the agency announced Tuesday.”

No surprise, the overwhelming numbers are from gun States, with Texas and the Gunshine State topping the list.

Now if Constitutional rights are absolute, that the Second Amendment “shall not be infringed,” as we are told over and over by gun huggers, how can this happen, how can TSA take away their weapons? Don’t they have a Constitutional right to have those guns with them?

They legally can't. Neither can the TSA legally exist. It is unconstitutional.

The Constitution is dead.

So you are saying people should be free to carry any weapon the desire on air flights, correct?

Yes. That is exactly what I am saying.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

how can it happen? pretty simple. government denies a constitutional right and freedom hating fuckstick cowards, like YOU, let it happen and approve......why should government do anything different?

I say the cause is more simple. People are getting stupider by the day and we're headed to an Idiocracy.

When gun manufacturers bribed enough politicians it all changed. We have guns everywhere. We did not in the past. Americans bought 20 million last year. Year after year we get more. An armed society is a dangerous place . There is plenty of evidence for that.

Guns were everywhere in the past too. No, you don't get to discard history.
Out of 20 million guns purchased last year, how many were involved in a mass shooting at a school?

Your hoplophobia does not justify discarding the Constitution or the inherent right of self defense.

I don't really trust the gov't. But no - in no way would I ever trust the idea that anyone could just bring a gun on a plane.

Good lord.

Too bad. Don't fly. Indeed, don't leave your house. People walking near you pretty much anywhere you go are carrying.

Maybe, but the Revolution is militantly anti-gun and out to hurt the kinds of people who carry guns.....it might very well be that standards and practices have changed to greater hurt those who carry guns into airports.

We dont know, we dont have journalists anymore generally, they abandoned the craft to shill for UTOPIA.

As long as they're not on planes - I'm cool.

I wondered that as well. With more states reciprocating where CC is concerned several people are more inclined to take their firearms with them. It’s a pain to do all that TSA requires but you can’t miss any steps.

TSA itself is unconstitutional. NOTHING authorizes mass search. NOTHING authorizes banning or limiting any weapon.

TSA doesn't keep anyone safe.

So you are endorsing people should be allowed to carry guns on airplanes, great idea, sure the next shooter out there looking to get attention would agree with you

Any idiot starting shit like that on a plane isn't going to last two seconds before he's crushed by a rampaging mob of passengers.

 

[Into the Night]

Yeah, that will work well on planes, imagine the feeling bordering a plane when the guy infront of you is visibly carrying a Glock

I have no problem with it.

What really cracks anyone up is that all these self defense guys always cite Chicago or NYC as reasons why they feel threatened,

Because they are violent Democrat run shitholes.

like any one of them’s understanding of either place goes beyond a TV cops and robbers show reinforced by Fox

FOX has nothing to do with the fact that both New York City and Chicago are violent Democrat run shitholes.

And that “your own safety” logic to carry guns worked out well when Stephen Paddock started shooting

It did.

 

[Into the Night]

Also mass shootings weren’t common in Perry Mason’s day, neither was air travel common to everyone

Yes it was.

 

[Into the Night]

The Constitution is dead.

No, it isn't. Chanting this changes nothing.

Too late. Already there!

Its mostly expensive life degrading theater. For instance, there is no reason to make people take off our shoes....being inconvenient, harming our lives so that we remember that we were there, is the feature not a bug.
