Reply to comment by PsychologicalAgent64 in Boston man charged with bringing loaded gun to Logan Airport Terminal A security by JBupp
Oh cool. And if he drew the gun on you?

Haha, and why would he? Dude is just trying to go on a trip. Don't live your life afraid of the world. Draw on me. Hahahahaha. On a plane. Amazon.

Well he’s an unlicensed felon with a gun. Not the most predictable folks. Amazon.

Again, he is unlicensed because of bullshit laws that shouldn't exist. Same reason he is a felon. Get rid of bogus anti gun laws and he is seemingly no more a criminal than you or I. Also, you don't think felons go on vacation? What's his plan in this scenario, stick up the plan passengers who he is stuck on the plane with for several more hours. 🙄

Why do felons need guns on vacation?
PsychologicalAgent64 t1_j29hqxv wrote
Same reason as everyone else I'd imagine.

Everyone else isn't a repeat offending criminal.
That's not an answer.

Again his crime is victimless. Keep kneeling to the state. Daddy will keep on spanking you if you are a good boy.

I don't need a gun to walk through life lol

As per the article
"charged with his third offense of carrying a loaded firearm without a license, illegal possession of a firearm without a license with a prior violent offense"
It's not a victimless crime if it's a gun being carried by a person with a history of criminal violence.
His previous offense was not a victimless crime and it's why he's not allowed to have a gun.

So, tell me, who exactly was the victim in this current arrest. I'll send them a card. And again "his third offense" doesn't mean anything when the law is immoral and spurious. 🤷.

Everyone who has a right to safety and to not sit next to an armed criminal with a history of violence.
But if you need a gun all the time is that what you're preparing for? Because then that would just be two criminals on a plane with guns.

Once you've outted yourself as a violent asshole why won't follow the rules, it's reasonable to presume that you might get violent in the future. This warrants restrictions that wouldn't be in place for other people precisely to prevent future victims.
You're moving the goalposts on us here. Laws don't require a victim to be valid. Restraining orders, for example, could be argued as not technically having a victim since their aim is to prevent future crimes that haven't happened yet rather than punish past crimes. You're trying to pretend that that very simple and obvious type of legal restriction doesn't exist, while in fact it does.

Ah, so I only need to follow laws that I agree with. Good to know 🙄

So why do you need to have a gun with you on a plane if you're not?
