    People who are dumb enough to try taking a loaded gun onto an airplane are lacking the mental capacity to own a gun without endangering other people. In civilized countries, this usually will lead to a revocation of your firearms licence.

      If the person is charged and convicted it is effectively the same result in the US, as it constitutes a felony and convicted felons are barred from firearms purchase and possession.

        Wouldn’t that be being reactive rather than proactive?

            If only there was a way to administer some kind of test to prove that they aren’t that dumb before allowing them to purchase a gun.

            Too bad there isn’t. Oh well, what can you do!
