Guns don't kill people, T-shirts do.

A "man wearing a T-shirt depicting a cartoon character holding a gun was stopped from boarding a flight by the security at Heathrow's Terminal 5," The BBC reported on June 1.
Brad Jayakody, from Bayswater, central London, said he was "stumped" at the objection to his Transformers T-shirt.
Mr. Jayakody, a clean-shaven young man with eyeglasses and short hair, said the incident happened in mid May, when he was challenged by an official during a pre-flight security check.
"He says, 'We won't be able to let you through because your T-shirt has got a gun on it'," Mr. Jayakody told reporters.
"I was like, 'What are you talking about?'
"(The goon's) supervisor comes over and goes, 'Sorry, we can't let you through and you've a gun on your T-shirt.' "

Good grief.
But was it loaded?
Sorry, we can’t let you through and you’ve a gun on your T-shirt.
But was it loaded?
NO. But it seems the Terminal Officials may have been....
That will never happen here. We have freedom of speach and the RKBA. /s
You can’t make this stuff up ping
So I guess my Dirty Harry boxers are out of the question.
How about not letting folks with Korans on the plane? Better chance of catching a perp.
"I'm gonna' bust a cap into his a$$. No-ones gonna threaten to lop off my nads"
Is that a gun on your t-shirt? Or are you just happy to see us?
Ummm....Jayakody is probably of South Asian/Indian origin. The turban wouldn’t have been enough....he should have also grown a foot-long beard and shouldhave had a few bombs strapped to his chest.
This true muslim get up would have gotten him through.
I wonder if Jesse and Barak had the open mike thing planned or if there is really hard feelings there?
I was thinking the same about my NRA boxers as well.
IMHO,...REAL HARD FEELINGS!!! If Barak wins, then it’s JESSE who gets PERMANENTLY “politically neutered”.
Call the FBI. That guy in the tie looks WAY too dangerous to be let within even 100 yards of the White House.
If the almost passenger had worn a shirt over his T-shirt it have been a concealed handgun picture. He’d have probably been shot on the spot.
