Last year saw a record number of guns intercepted at airport checkpoints across the country: 6,542. Amounting to roughly 18 per day, the number is sparking concern at a time when more Americans are armed.

The weapon was one of the 6,542 guns the Transportation Security Administration intercepted last year at airport checkpoints across the country. The number — roughly 18 per day — was an all-time high for.

Tennessee Governor GovBillLee says he has “done all he possibly can to have more guns in more places at all times”. SenJohnson asked..”what more can one Republican man do than what we have already done?” Permitless carry for 18 yr olds. Unlimited guns, no training whatsoever .

Glad to see more Americans are carrying. Self defense is paramount.

And the Supreme Court’s latest decision will make it easier to have guns on planes.

Approx 6500 in 2022 = 18 a day 🤯

The obsession with guns is making the US a laughing stock.

Please don't tell me TSA returns the guns they seize at the airports. They don't deserve to ever get back their criminal property.

The Bruen opinion is clear. The framers never forbade carrying arms on an airplane. Nor on any other mode of transportation. Ergo, no court may conclude that carrying a weapon in an airport or plane 'falls outside the Second Amendment’s ‘unqualified command.’”

LoonAuntie It’s sickening

Trying to save a checked baggage fee. You can fly with your firearm with a little pre-planning.

lol

You don’t say.

Fines are regressive. Slap offenders with a no fly for six months first offense and ramp it up.

when a population lives in fear

wusses...

2A absolutists think they can stop a plane from crashing with a gun.

And still not a single terrorist caught by TSA.

That’s brilliant 🙄

Citizens want a way to protect themselves from the protected class, criminals.

Rightwing domestic terrorists are trying to get guns past airport security to test the system.

Rocket science personified.

$10,000 fine or 12 months imprisonment. No way around it. That will stop this nonsense in about 90 days.

Listen up crazy GOP. Never guns over people. Never.

If an average of 2,000,000 people fly commercially everyday throughout the United States that would be 730,000,000 people. 6,542 guns not shot but carried on, seems a minuscule percentage to worry about. (.000009).

Rightwing domestic terrorists testing the system. How many times did Republican Madison Cauthorne try it?

I mean… bringing a gun to an airport? Those people didn’t take the plane since 2001…

Now tell us how many of those were handed out by U.S. Intel agencies.

Guns aren't the problem. It's Trumpers with guns that are the problem.

We still have to take off our shoes

People choose to live in fear, and so they clutch their weapons waiting for the bad man to come. This isn’t about 2nd amd. rights. It’s about fear.
