Featured Man Carries LOADED AR-15 Rifle Through World's Busiest Airport

Yup, that's the ticket. He didn't act Christ-like, so you don't have to, either.

Personally, I would have mentioned something to him about which part of Africa? Maybe the part where the whites still practice racism worse than what we see here in the US?

But nah, you go ahead and keep complaining about the un-Christ-like behavior of everyone else here, while exhibiting it yourself.

 

Actually, it is not. The AR-15 is not an assault rifle. The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle (just like many hunting rifles), but an assault rifle is a rifle that can be used as an automatic weapon - that is, a machine gun. Only a few people have permits to own automatic weapons (including assault rifles) and they have been heavily regulated since the mid-1930s. Just about every time you hear someone talking about the need to ban assault rifles, they are demonstrating their ignorance or they are being dishonest, and shouldn't be considered a credible source for gun policy.

Police officers have the right and responsibility to question persons who are acting in an atypical manner, especially when holding items which can be used as a weapon. They need to conduct a brief investigation to determine if the person is a threat to the general public.

But make no mistake, what the man did was idiotic and irresponsible.

Actually, the intensity or color of his skin tone is likely irrelevant here. With the beatings that the police have taken over some legitimate and non-legitimate shootings of non-white persons over the past year, I imagine that very few of them want to get into a situation where they would have to decide whether or not to shoot a non-white person who was endangering the public.

 

Quite defensive, aren't you? One would think I hit a nerve....

 

Not for the race mongers. Imaginations have to run wild.
