Thanks for the info.
The media is pathetic.
If you don’t calm down we’re going to take away your checked gun.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Try flying southwest airlines out of Atlanta or Memphis...the cattle car of the skys. people fighting for bin space, window seats it’s madness. I always sit in the very last row and watch the fools clammer on and off like getting to baggage claim first makes a difference. if I have made nice with the attendants back their they usually hook up a jack on the rocks while the rest fight to get off and hurry up to wait. I’m usually the last person off and causally stroll to the claim area and up to the carousel. then 5 to ten minutes later the bags come ha.
Amen!~ February 2002 we flew to Denver. On return trip from Denver to Houston, we had to wait in line with about 2,000 other travelers for over 2 hours to go through Security. It was all new and being ironed out back then, no one knew what they were doing yet... And I told my husband, “No one needs to hijack a jet and crash it into WTC, they can just walk in here and blow us all up with a bomb or mow us down with guns.” Security check took so long we actually missed our flight. We had to go to some special desk and ID our luggage. I remember asking them, “Can’t you find it by the tags you put on them?” I was met with a blank stare. So we described our luggage, as if it were unusual! And found a later flight. Denver airport is pretty big and finding our way around took a while. We eventually got home and got our luggage! A miracle I am sure! But for 15 years next month I have been saying there needs to be MORE security in the unsecured areas of the airports. Every time I am in an airport I remember that Feb 2002 and wonder how long before a homicidal maniac mows us down with guns or bombs...
He has been hearing voices in his head, sounds like schizophrenia to me. Telling him to join ISIS, etc. I think mass killers are not right in the brain... Charles Manson, Jack the Ripper, Boston Strangler, the Clintons, Jeffrey Dauhmer, John W Gacy, etc. Homicidal maniacs, schizophreniacs, Nuts, Evil in their heart mind and soul...
I think your tag line is and was RIGHT ON!
Great Tag Line. That is how I see Abortion. Excellent!
Abortion is A permanent solution to a temporary problem.
They did mention on the news, finally, that areas where there are a lot of people and no one is allowed to carry a gun, there will be mass shootings.
Our pastor announced that our church is NOT PC, that members can carry guns, and many do. If anyone runs into the church shooting at us, the ones with guns will be shooting back.
I love our church!
Churches that are gun free zones are targets, as are schools and malls and theaters...
I avoid businesses with signs that say GUN FREE ZONES
They might as well paint a target on the customers.
Criminals prefer unarmed victims!
There is nothing wrong with caps! Calm down! Ann Archy has been here a Very Long Time!
A guy who walks in to the FBI and tells him that he has voices directing him to download ISIS videos and follow ISIS IMO should not be allowed to, at the very least, transport a gun on a plane.
We have run into that problem with Japanese tourists, everywhere! From EU to LA to national parks to Universal Studios, etc.
Us; too...
..and we CLING to them!
“No, he was within his rights to carry it in the manner he did...”
I believe my statement is true and does not show any support for what the man did.
