Hmmm. Apparently not on the No Fly List despite ample and legitimate public safety concerns. Do we have to have a massacre on an aircraft in flight before our leaders take a rational approach to gun regulations?

These were in checked bags. So they'd be pretty tough to get to mid- flight.

No he didn't.

>Agents screening checked bags found ammunition and a ballistic vest emblazoned with “Deputy Marshal” in one of Clouden’s bags, according to the affidavit. They retrieved more of his luggage from the plane and found an AR-15 rifle that “meets the definition of a machine gun,” another rifle, a handgun, a taser, a spring-loaded knife, an expandable baton, a “United States Marshal” badge and U.S. marshal credentials with Clouden’s name and photo, according to FBI agent Christopher Granato.

They retrieved the bags from the plane, but stopped him as he tried to board. How exactly would his carry-on get onto the plane before he boarded?

Yet one guy tries to ignite spicy nikes on a plane and were still here 20 years later taking our shoes off 😤
