Common denominator in terrorist attacks is Islam, not guns, machetes, cars, trucks, etc. Ban Islam. Put anyone supporting Islam on no-fly lists, if immigrants, has them to renounce or leave the US.

I bet this group polled Hillary as the projected winner.

A rational person transporting his firearm has nothing to do with so-called mass shootings.
Every person connected with a mass shooting was considered a rational person until they opened fire..........
I have no problem with firearms in checked baggage since that's been the only way I and other hunters could transport them to destination hunting trips. But I don't support them in carry on baggage.......
To: DoughtyOne; entropy12
I think entropy12 is saying the same thing as me. People can carry guns into any unsecured area. So how the guns get into that unsecured area is almost irrelevant.
I also do not support guns in carry-on bags, unless its carried by LE (of course).

I agree, this is BS. How are the majority of us suppose to transport our weapons? They keep tryin’ and keep lyin’. Let’s ban Islam instead.

Metal detectors in unprotected gun-free zones create killing zones like at the airport. No police around to stop the shooter, everyone else disarmed.

I don’t believe in any polls anymore and probably never will.
This attack on gun owners is ridiculous.

I agree with you both there.
By process of elimination, the critical points you both touched on are already open.
No need to argue a point about another way to get a gun into them, since guns are already allowed in them.
Thanks for the additional note.

A good example of gun-violence-free places is Federal court buildings, State court buildings, Federal office buildings, etc. All are equipped with metal detectors and no terror event takes place there.

Unintended consequence: “keep and bear” would come under direct scrutiny, possibly resulting in full right to carry in the cabin.

It would be MUCH more effective to ban muslims from flying. Or even being here.

The baggage handlers have access. And lots of Muslims work as baggage handlers. A Muslim connects with a TSA employee and delivers a gun to him in his luggage.
Transporting firearms, even prop guns, flare guns requires one to use non TSA locks. Only the individual flying has the key. This is why many transporting sensitive electronic equipment have heavy locks on custom luggage and throw in a fake gun or regular gun just to have that security.

Isn’t this the same poll which had Hillary up by double digits?

.......................................................I would not be surprised if the next time we see him that he will be hopped up on psychotropic with his brain fried and looking like the Arizona and Colorado shooters. What exactly does this mean?
From Arizona.
To: Hot Tabasco
Every person connected with a mass shooting was considered a rational person until they opened fire...... Sorry but this is demonstrably false even though it sounds seductive and dramatic. In far too many cases eg Sandy Hook we later learned that the gunmen were already under suspicion of mental illness, were on psychotropic drugs (or stopped taking them), had been diagnosed, restrained, even involuntarily committed but released, etc.

Looks like we need a new law, making it illegal to walk into a baggage area from the street. That’ll stop ‘em!

No friggin way did they talk to all independents and republicans ... polls are propaganda / disinformation tools .... see “” Clinton can’t lose “” as presstitute proof.
BTW...I’m all for not putting my sidearm in checked luggage .... let me wear it on the plane.
