Dems Demand TSA Crack Down On ‘Repeat Offenders’ With Guns At Airports After Cawthorn Incidents

There was a classic All in the Family episode in which Archie gets on local television to make a pitch for arming all of the passengers. And this was before the NRA had gone completely off the rails.

I’m old enough to remember when conservatives would get in a lather over persistent criminal offenders like Cawthorn. They would quote from Bill Bennetts Book of virtues. Cry about the loss of the men in the household. “Where are the parents?”. And of course blame LBJ for breaking up the family because of the Great society programs.

Or waiting for someone to come in at the gate.

I’m not a fan of the TSA. If the Repugs managed to get them to back down I’d be grateful.

I suspect un-diagnosed brain injury from the crash.

Why wouldn’t Maddie take his loaded gun with him? He looks around at his tribe members and sees, as we all do, that justice is unevenly applied, slow, preferential and deferential. Plus he is a white male Member of Congress who can drive recklessly with a revoked license whenever he chooses and gets nothing more than a " You drive real careful now, Son."

He was an asshole well before that, so look for another reason maybe his parents are close relatives.

It was because of him hanging with fellow assholes that got him in an accident. And by the way he is home schooled, so that mean his parents are conservative assholes as well.

There are only two reasons to carry a gun: a) You are very afraid, b) You have a chip on your shoulder.

This appears to be deliberate messaging from Cawthorne:

  1. To remind constituents that he is in love with his guns and the Second Amendment;

  2. Perhaps more importantly, I think he is feeling threatened by his GOP colleagues. Ever since he disclosed their cocaine fueled sex orgies (you don’t think lobbyists take care of their targets this way anymore?) he has been under attack from his own party. I think he is letting everyone know he is armed and dangerous.

I do believe that Repubs have had it with him. When he loses his job in November, look out…he is going to shoot someone…mark my words. He is a violent person with no filter at all, and the pictures I have seen of two of his (many?) guns indicate that he is fixated on them. He will probably be the next Kyle Rittenhaus, who kills people because he doesn’t like them. In his case he may or may not get a free ride for it, but for sure there is a shooting in his future.

He can hide, but he can’t run.

My money is on Boebert in a gun duel. Hand to hand combat would go to Marge.

but since Cawthorn wasn’t fined, wasn’t arrested, but only cited does that info get shared nation wide?

What is the point of TSA if it doesn’t? Maybe they could take a break from strip-searching grandmas and confiscating hand lotion and work up a pilot study?
