Was she flying to Ohio to visit a friend?

Um, yeah, she should. In fact, anyone who is so casual about a gun as to forget that it was IN A BAG YOU ARE CARRYING and presumably packed, should be charged with a felony. Fucking selfish assholes.

They are of the group that is constantly bleating, "Responsible gun owners should not be persecuted for safely using guns", "Responsible gun owners ALWAYS know where their guns are at ALL times", "Responsible gun owners NEVER break the law", etc., etc.

It's from the 2009 CMT Music Awards. I'm guessing the Marines were going for a recruiting opportunity by being in a high visibility public event.

make some kind of crazypants statement about gun laws.

Regardless of what one thinks of either gun control laws or the TSA, if a person is capable of forgetting that they are carrying a handgun at any time, then surely that person should not be carrying a handgun, period.

What frlcklneh said. She had a loaded and deadly weapon in her bag. That she was so cavalier about it that she simply "forgot" that it was there suggests a shockingly lax attitude toward gun safety.

EDIT: This is what bothers me about the "responsible gun owner" talk. Everyone thinks they are a responsible gun…

She takes her gun to the gym?

If you can't keep track of the firearms on your person, maybe you shouldn't have them. Just saying.

I hope they give that kooky bitch all ten years and all ten thousand dollars.

I totally think that is why she did it. Look at her husband.

Ten years sounds about right - these terrorists need to be taught a lesson. Oh wait, we're talking about a white, very-much-not-a-Muslim American. Well then, nothing to see here. Move along.

Except that yours was a lighter. Hers was a gun. You don't get to "forget" to unpack your handgun when you're traveling, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if she did it on purpose, either hoping she wouldn't get caught or that she could make some kind of crazypants statement about gun laws.

What is going on in that picture? Why are there Marines?

It doesn't matter what anyone's intent is in bringing a firearm to an airport. Just like statutory rape, this is a strict liability offense that merits charges every time it happens.

So that big article about what a nightmare the set of The Canyons was - that was Schrader and co in cautious, politic mood, careful not to reveal too much for the sake of the film's integrity? Holy shit.

How is that ironic? Wouldn't you expect a gun toting psycho to try to take loaded guns where they shouldn't?

I just photoshop me and my kitty together to see what our babies would look like.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN THIS TO MY CAT?? SHE IS JUST A KITTEN AND IS AT A DELICATE AGE.

This is a feminist issue: my pussy does not need modifications! Fuck the patriarch!
