Wow.. Airport Shooter came in on flight..CNN:

[busterbrown]

from Atlanta....Claimed his luggage ( Took a gun out of his luggage ) sat down and began shooting..

IT IS ALLOWABLE IN THIS COUNTRY TO CHECK A GUN IN LUGGAGE!

At this point NRA and Trump are hoping that the shooter was an Alaska ISIS member..

Not funny.. I know.. just sad... The state of accessibility for carrying guns in this country is as frightening as a Trump Presidency.

1. He came on a flight

from Canada where it is allowable to check a gun in luggage.

[busterbrown]

2. CNN reported Alaska...N/T

[pangaia]

8. But your OP says Atlanta.. ?

[GoCubsGo]

5. It's allowable in the US, too.

Just not in carry-on, and it can't be loaded. It has always been that way.

[busterbrown]

7. Confirmed ALASKA!

Checking guns on planes in U.S. is allowable....So there you go.

[sarisataka]

10. Never denied that

it is allowable to check firearms on planes. It is legal in virtually every country.

Earlier CNN reported the flight came from Canada. Perhaps it originated in Alaska.

[busterbrown]

14. Got it! n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

13. MSNBC saying Canada but not confirmed. n/t

[malaise]

3. From Anchorage, Alaska to

Minneapolis to Fort Lauderdale

[dbackjon]

21. That's ok. A lot of people think both are in Canada.

[NightWatcher]

4. I check guns on flights regularly (for work)

You're supposed to have the ammo separated from the weapon and locked up.

Tons of people fly with guns in the belly of the plane and pick them up at baggage claim.

[underpants]

11. My brother in law does on hunting trips

Colorado
Iowa

Those are always rifles though.

[exboyfil]

17. You can check ammo too?

I didn't realize that.

[NightWatcher]

19. I never do. Didn't think you could

I have to buy new ammo when I get to town or I have somebody meet me with it if it's a big enough case or I know someone local.

[yagotme]

20. Heard on local radio news,

picked up baggage, went to restroom, unpacked gun/ammo, came out of bathroom and started shooting. Ran out of ammo after changing mags an undisclosed # of times, then sat there and waited for cops.

[leftynyc]

6. Any word on motive?

Did he know any of the victims?

[busterbrown]

9. That Story Line...

will probably take lost of time to decipher.

[onecaliberal]

12. It is 💯 legal to check an unloaded gun in the united states.

[SoCalMusicLover]

16. Reassuring To The Victims' Families

Thank God we still have our rights.

[onecaliberal]

18. Its seriously ridiculous. I don't know when people are going to get enough of this.

I don't hold out hope, especially after Sandy Hook

[Skittles]

15. another day, another gun humping coward
