Not that it matters but someone sent me the link. So yes, redstate. Not everyone who is liberal is so far to the left they can't fathom looking at a site that might be from the other side. Sorry if I offended your delicate sensibilities. Or not.

The absurdity has nothing to do with that fact that he was military, that the entire plane was military, that he was carrying an unloaded weapon, or any of the other circumstances.

Exactly! It's pointing out the absurdity of nail clippers being classified as a weapon. An unloaded gun can still cause a lot of physical damage.
