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.......

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.

Absolute nonsense. Almost all of them were known prior to have either anger issues, or mental instability, or to have taken psychotropic drugs.

Please don't tell me you subscribe to the theory that all gun owners are potential mass murderers? If so, we can't continue having a conversation.
