Arm TSA officers?

[GlockCop]

You have got to be kidding me. I just saw a story on ABC news that TSA is saying that maybe they need to be armed so that they arent "targeted". Please. While I agree that this is tragic I hardly think they are a targeted people. And some of the ones Ive seen I wouldnt trust with a pellet gun ....much less a real one...anyway discuss....

What if they are permit holders?? Or work in a state that doesn't require a permit??

pedos with guns!

The more guns the better. Guns for the indigent, guns for the dead. People in nursing homes should be heavily armed or face the consequences. Crime can happen anywhere. Where is your gun when you take a shower? Think about it.

Ya know, when ya think about it, TSA agents and Highway Patrol Troopers are really similar. They harass travelers.

You guys ... Here I am trying to get that danged JBT to think outside the little bitty narrow box he lives in, harrassing the motoring public, generating revenue and violating everyone's constitutional rights ... And here you guys are -- ENCOURAGING HIM!!

Fixed it to make more sense:

Arm "all citizens"?

I explained to my Dad, "it's a Berretta which is the best kind."
He said "I don't understand how it works."
That's when I knew something had gone horribly wrong.

It's too bad that's not really the case ... I could get behind that, for sure! Mandatory 4 year military service for both men and women starting at 18 and when you get out at 22, here's your gun, thank you for your service.

There are people I know in the Tulsa area that have CC permits that I would step on a range with. Other than the background check, the CC training is a joke. The class I took had a lady that was afraid to fire her weapon, so the instructor went and got her a 22 to shoot her qualifying rounds. That was comforting.

I would maybe agree the TSA should be armed if we were talking about sling shots and pinto beans.
