TSA already misses full metal guns and in some airports guns are completely legal in the USA. Why even pretend to have gun laws in this country. But I'll tell you what, we better make mental health care available like going to the supermarket and without stigma in our society or one day there is going to be a mass-murder anniversary for every day of the year.

> TSA already misses full metal guns and in some airports guns are completely legal in the USA. Outside the 'security' cordon, yes. Why not? > Why even pretend to have gun laws in this country. Why indeed? They're almost as bad as the drug laws. It's not whether folks are high or carrying weapons which matters, or should be illegal; it's what they do while high or with those weapons which matters.

  No, there was a study where TSA sent undercover agents through security with real guns and got through some absurd amount like 97% of the time.

    He was responding to the "guns are legal in the airports", which in many places in the US they are outside of the 'secure' area. I don't think he was disputing that TSA misses guns.

Implying that anyone who needs mental health care is going to go on a murder spree is a great way to break that stigma.

  I believe OP is only implying that those who end up going on murder sprees are in need of mental health care and that it could have prevented them from going on such sprees.

  "All mass-murderers would have benefited from mental health care" does not imply "All people who could benefit from mental health care will be mass murderers" This is where we could benefit from making formal logic a mandatory requirement in schools.
