Don't debate guns with an guy who has suggested those of us who support gun rights are complacent in deaths and mass shootings. Bet Lorenzo forgot that little fommebtbhe made about Duffy. But I didn't.

"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden

I don't think that article used the word "petitioned" correctly. Multiple other reports say this:


Santiago got the gun back a month later when he retrieved the pistol from police headquarters, and it was that weapon, law enforcement sources told CNN, that he used to kill five people and wound six others at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Friday.

Authorities were so concerned when Esteban Santiago visited the FBI Anchorage, Alaska, office in November that they confiscated his gun and ordered a mental health evaluation. A month later, Santiago retrieved the weapon from police headquarters.

Here is a link to the article I read that sounds like he travelled with nothing but the pistol. I had forgotten that he also purchased a one-way ticket. Even more weird.

http://www.nbcnews.com/...ampage-began-n704516

From the article:
Court documents revealed that Santiago told the FBI after the shooting that he planned the attack, and had purchased a one-way ticket from Anchorage, Alaska — his luggage was a legally checked Walther 9mm handgun and two magazines of ammunition.
According to a criminal complaint, Santiago told the FBI that after landing he retrieved the checked handgun case from baggage claim, went to a bathroom and loaded the weapon, then tucked it into his waistband.

This report makes it sound different that what I thought people were saying. I thought people were saying he checked in a suitcase, but the suitcase was empty except for a case with his handgun. This makes it sound like he did not have a suitcase. All he had was a gun case that carried his gun. If that is the case, it makes a little more sense. The last time I flew, there were a couple guys who showed up at baggage claim. All they checked was a couple gun cases. They were carrying backpacks, which I assume had their clothing. So, I could see a situation where he only checks a gun case and the gate agent just assumes he has a carry on with clothing.

More here:

Esteban Santiago arrived at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport Thursday evening more than four hours before his flight to Florida, bringing with him no baggage other than a handgun case, according to the chief of the airport's police and fire department.
. . .
Davis said Santiago brought no carry-on luggage and had no bags to check, except for a single handgun case — no larger than a laptop case. He said that did not create concern at the airport.





"It's not our business whether they travel with a suitcase or not," Davis said. "A single passenger coming with no luggage wouldn't necessarily be unusual."

Movies, TV shows and way too many political solutions involve guns and weaponry as a means to resolve conflict and release stress - - and if one has psychological pathologies or has shit for brains - and a problem - picking up a gun is a way out.

I fly without luggage fairly often.

Well, it's been a couple of days since I posed some questions to you regarding citizens and firearms, and still no response, even though you have posted at least ten times on this one thread about your disdain for citizens being armed. So, it appears you are simply gunphobic and have no rational solution to offer to avoid becoming a victim in the scenario I described or any other scenarios we have witnessed in recent years.

Here is a condensed version of the questions for you

• Tell me what YOU would be hoping for if you had been in the room in San Bernandino when two wackos showed up and started shooting. One door in or out and no place to hide. People are being murdered, you are two or three people down the line from the last victim, no security personnel on the site, no cops around. What would YOU want at that moment? Your are ten seconds from being shot. Tell me.
• Do you have insurance on your car?
• Do you wear seatbelts?
