Gun rights advocates have filed a lawsuit challenging the 'gun free' zone declared at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. What do you think? * 14216 responses

Bearing arms is every American's right
47%

Allowing guns in the terminal would only endanger more people
53%
 
Just voted.Still holding at 53 to 47 against freedom.
Guess a lot of people have forgotten about the boxcutters on 9/11/01.
As the line goes 'you can't fix stupid.'
Will they ever learn?
 
Still 47-53% their way, with 14,247 votes cast. The actual poll question says "in the terminal", rather than on the property. There is, (to me, anyway) a difference.

It's pretty funny because I am fairly certain that I voted after Erebus and he said
Still 53 - 47 with 15544 votes cast.

Someone please explain how LESS people have voted after I voted than when the previous post was an hour ago??????????
 
Just added my vote ... the only place I regularly see gang bangers is late at night when I leave Newark airport and head down the parkway or the turnpike...
 
Guns don't belong in airport parking lots. If your gun is in the car that means you left it behind where it won't do you any good should you need it. Guns belong on the persons of their owners, and that means in the airplane with their owner.

So I did them a few better... Guns on planes, no problem with me.
 
Interesting. I moved to Missouri from Seattle over the winter. Good to be home after 35 years!

I've carried into the Seattle airport probably a hundred times over the past ten years. Never into the restricted area of course but I always have stood and waited until the wife got past security and likewise on her return. Never had any problems, there's never been someone with an itchy trigger finger go berserk, etc.

I guess this is the difference between a place where concealed has been around for over forty years versus the states where its new to them.

I do the same here in Brownsville, TX. I don't understand how having a gun in my pocket makes the airport more dangerous.
 
They could hardly have phrased the options in a more biased way. There is barely any connection between the two questions.

1. Bearing arms is every American's right
2. Allowing guns in the terminal would only endanger more people

I voted.
 
But when you think about it for a while, the argument against allowing decent people to carry in airports is similar to the one against allowing them to carry in schools: If decent people carry guns in those places the cops won't be able to distinguish them from criminals or terrorists.

Right now it's easy for the cops to tell the difference. The decent people are the dead ones on the floor and the terrorists are the live ones with the guns. Why muddy things by letting the decent people have the means to defend their lives?
 
52-48 our favor.

the choices to me make it sound like its not an airport issue, but a 2a issue in general...."Bearing arms is every American's right"...instead of something simple like, YES, or NO choices to "Should legal carry of firearms be allowed on airport property with the exception of secure terminal areas"
 
Code3GT, the government-media complex usually words polls like these in order to skew the results in favor of their gun banning agenda. The only folks they want to see have guns are criminals (after all, the criminals had a bad childhood, were misunderstood, and are disproportionately "people of color", and therefore 'victims' (their words - not mine)).
