All because of the Fort Lauderdale airport massacre.

Most people have no idea that peaceable Americans like me travel with guns in their checked baggage all the time, and NOTHING bad happens. Now, you watch, the governments will start taking away another freedom based on a bogus push poll.

When they do it, I will refuse to fly anywhere. Even if it gets me fired at work. This country is full of such stupid Chicken Littles who would trade the sanctity of their mother's marriage bed for a little security. I'm sick of them.

The baggage claim areas of airports are outside of the secured area.
In most locations, you can walk right in off the street with a weapon.

[Vermont Lt]

That’s ok. I would prefer to carry it on with me anyway.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Another kneejerk reaction brought about by the media. Pure BS. Before Lauderdale, the “majority” never gave this a thought. Dumbass “media”.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Would it have been better if he had flown with just cash and bought one off the street?

[SgtHooper]

This is bull crap! This means that anyone wanting to transfer a weapon must do so by UPS or FedEx. Good luck if going to Africa to blast some animals.

[D Rider]

it’s a meaningless response. Anyone could walk into the baggage claim with a gun and shoot people. You don’t have to just be coming off a plane.

Majority of snowflakes?

The problem is that airports mezzanines and property are now just additional target-rich areas without personal defensive precautions allowed.

[Wonder Warthog]

This is what my little strap lock suggestion “could” prevent.

[Reno89519]

What BS. Stupid poll and stupid responses. Guns are checked. I do it all the time, most of the time no big deal. Don’t see guns again until I leave the airport.

[Tijeras_Slim]

This would kill competitive shooting.

[Reno89519]

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.

[ZULU]

I bet this group polled Hillary as the projected winner.

[stevio]

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.

[Gator113]

I don’t believe in any polls anymore and probably never will.

This attack on gun owners is ridiculous.

[DCBryan1]

A majority of people are dumbasses. Hell, look at 62mm people that voted for ....>HILLARY!.....you should be scared, very scared that there are that many dumb people in America.

[ctdonath2]

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

[Innovative]

Stupid!

Punishing everyone because of one bad guy.

[meyer]

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

[Red in Blue PA]

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