Bubbacs Posted January 15, 2021 at 04:03 AM Share Posted January 15, 2021 at 04:03 AM So we are banning the firearms ok.How many passengers actually have checked firearms to DC?At any given day or time could it be as low as 2 in 24 hours? 10? Another grandiose stand against something which on any other time frame of the year wouldnt get any attention.But we must keep the machine moving along. Make it seem as if thousands of passengers into DC would be bringing firearms. Keep moving along folks theres nothing to see here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2A4Cook Posted January 15, 2021 at 04:15 AM Share Posted January 15, 2021 at 04:15 AM Under all current circumstances, I agree with it, but as others have said, I question their motives in publicizing it in such a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, what you said, it's a safe bet that anyone going to DC with a firearm intent on causing problems isn't going to attached their name to a record of it by checking it on on a flight to DC (albeit there are some real stupid criminals) by and large most those people intent on causing problems are driving to the area or are already there! Nothing but airline grandstanding, and expect them to make it even harder to fly with a firearm in the coming years under the 'its for your safety' narrative.

Bubbacs Posted January 15, 2021 at 01:07 PM Share Posted January 15, 2021 at 01:07 PM does that mean they are interfering with congress by preventing certain congress critter travel?No I think the Congress critter travel/entry is being interfered with by their own people within for their own agendas.just prior to all this there was push back and talk about allowing the gentlemen and gentlewomen the right to carry their firearms into and around the Capitol Buildings. Seems it has been either a law or tradition accepted for hundreds of years. This year it was interrupted but I believe Nancy and the push back was over whelming to leave it alone, and follow the years past best practices. now move forward a few days and Nancy’s cry it metal detectors and scanners which most reps are says they will just walks around.the underlying feeling is that leadership wants no guys within the Capital Grounds and will use this weeks past events to get it rammed through.one could surmise that the powers to be in DC and DC only were or are behind the ban. DC being it’s own little city within a city and having its own rules and law enforcement etc.so fly to the nearest airport and grab that rental car and drive in from there! It’s all smoke and mirrors anyway.all bravado, chest thumping, and grand standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbrooks Posted January 15, 2021 at 05:32 PM Share Posted January 15, 2021 at 05:32 PM The problem is going to be those who drive in. But they way they are blocking and closing off DC makes it hard for anyone to get near in a vehicle. And we know that security check points will catch anything else. That assumes law enforcement have fixed the issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted January 15, 2021 at 05:37 PM Share Posted January 15, 2021 at 05:37 PM With watching all the troops moving about and listening to all the news about streets closing etc. this brings to mind the movieThe SiegeIf I’ve got this right it’s with Bruce Willis as the General who comes in and locked off New York or maybe Brooklyn.Curfews, papers, gathering up certain groups and holding in stadiums etc. I don’t believe we are there nor that we will, but live imitating fiction........

Mr. Fife Posted January 15, 2021 at 05:51 PM Share Posted January 15, 2021 at 05:51 PM It's amazing that one man could be hated so much that they will need to close off the Capitol. This never happened when Trump was elected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markthesignguy Posted January 15, 2021 at 09:10 PM Share Posted January 15, 2021 at 09:10 PM The depth of hatred of Biden/Harris has them scared. Along with the vote totals. Plus you have to remember they are the kings of projection (i.e. what would I do?)and they KNOW that some of the same idiots that they found so usefulwere never in their control and could (have already?) turn on them.

ragsbo Posted January 15, 2021 at 11:06 PM Share Posted January 15, 2021 at 11:06 PM Paranoid would say they are banning guns on airlines (which is perfectly legal) is a step down the slippery slope of banning them every where. If they can just arbitrarily say no guns ------ because of ------, where does it stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
