At least the baggage screeners are doing their jobs



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Conservative Republican Congressman John Hostettler (R-National Rifle Association) got a nifty plea bargain for bringing a loaded glock to the Louisville, KY airport. Sixty-day suspended sentence. For the next two years, he can't carry a gun in Kentucky and he can only buy a gun in his home state of Indiana.

So this is what conservatives call "enforcement" of gun laws already on the books. Zero jail time for bringing a loaded gun to an airport in the post 9-11 world. He still gets to buy a gun anywhere in his home state.

Shouldn't we hold members of Congress who are bought by the NRA to a higher standard?

And who needs to put a glock in their carry-on?
