No point in disarming passengers attempting to board flights

[Tom Rinaldo]

Tens of millions of law abiding Americans are having their freedoms restricted by TSA agents forbidding weapons,on planes. The real problem is that a small fraction of Americans have severe mental illness that causes them to act violently. The practical constitutional solution to gun violence is to increase state and federal support for mental health programs by a few per cent annually while removing all of the arbitrary government restraints constraining the Second Amendment rights of healthy red blooded Americans to carry weapons of war everywhere.

1. We Should At Least Be Allowed To Open Carry On Domestic Flights

I can understand how other Non-Shithole countries might not want us bringing guns on planes when traveling there, but this is America, Land Of The Gun, and our RIGHTS & FREEDOMS are being taken away unfairly.

2. Exactly

Granted some might argue that someone with a federal warrant currently outstanding for several counts of murder should be forced to place their AR 15 in checked luggage before boarding, which raises some interesting constitutional issues, but how many American airline passengers are actually wanted for murder? I don't have those figures at my finger tips but I would imagine the percentage is relatively low, and yet ALL of US are treated like murderers under the current policy.

5. May as well pass out pistols to all passengers,

since I never intend to fly again anyway. Driving is so much better.

7. Just stay out of the way of my well regulated tank...

Steering is loose.

It’s for home defense don’t ya know.

12. Brad Pitt is currently 10 years older than Carroll O'Conner was there

People didn't age so well then.

It was maybe the really bad diet of thinking things like Velveeta was food and smoking?

6. It shouldn't be necessary, but you left out the sarcasm gif.

8. And a couple of bullet holes through

the fuselage won't make no nevermind.

9. An ambiguous statement about muskets and militia

written into our constitution two and a half centuries ago, and defined in current times times by NRA profiteers, gun nuts and political opportunists is sacrosanct. Sure, a few planes might go down.

11. Being an asshole is not a mental illness. I am so tired of people using mental illness

as a cover-all.

And at the airport, they violate your 1st and 4th amendment rights and claim they don't exist at an airport.
