People who are dumb enough to try taking a loaded gun onto an airplane are lacking the mental capacity to own a gun without endangering other people. In civilized countries, this usually will lead to a revocation of your firearms licence.

If the person is charged and convicted it is effectively the same result in the US, as it constitutes a felony and convicted felons are barred from firearms purchase and possession.

Wouldn't that be being reactive rather than proactive?

Edit: you can downvote me but the truth will still be the same

well yeah, but you don't actually know if they're that dumb until they do something that dumb.

If only there was a way to administer some kind of test to prove that they aren't that dumb before allowing them to purchase a gun.

Too bad there isn't. Oh well, what can you do!

License? Some states just kind of give you access to firearms for being able to breathe, right?
