Worthless #: Amount of handguns found at Buffalo airport's TSA checkpoints more than doubled in 2018

[Blimey]

Notice I did not say worthless stat, because this is so worthless it is not statistically significant.

Amount of handguns found at Buffalo airport's TSA checkpoints more than doubled in 2018

Look at the chart. And look at the headline. Suffice to say the author, Evan Antsey, did not major in statistics.

Guns found halve in Albany, halve in Rochester, overall down across the state, but this fool focuses on Buffalo.

And BTW none of these numbers mean anything. The amount of data is too small to make any scientifically valid observation at all.

I saw this "article", and thought the same thing: It's 7 dumb asses. BUT, they'll spin it into some "huge" gun problem at BNIA!!

sorry guys...I think some of my guns were trying to leave NY too. They know when they are not wanted here!!!

I had a talk with them to settle them down. No more traveling by air! unless you "CHECK yourself!!"

If it doubled to 7, who got caught with half a gun last year?

 

[2WheelGnnr]

I'm glad to see Americans exercising their 2A rights

I try too keep travel bags and range bags separate. I've never left a gun in a bag but I have walked around with bullets in my pockets the rest of the day

Yes,and I believe that jerk ws breaking the law by destroying a firearm! Too bad he didn't get arrested.

Or the one who cut the barrel off on YouTube and somehow isn't in the federal pen doing 7-10 for an illegal SBR.

Apparently one guy that recently got caught started mumbling stuff, freaked out, ran out the door and across the road by the airport. Lol.

Actually there is some use for statistical information: Given the number of NICS checks and Reports from Manufacturers as to how many Handguns are produced and transferred every year, the number of people errantly caught with a pistol in New York Airports (with or without Licenses) and the outcomes should be indicative that the current Laws are not only ineffectual, but destroy good peoples lives from an oversight or no knowledge of the local customs and normatives....Perhaps the Legislature should order Signs be placed at all Roadways into New York reading "Handguns are prohibited by Law without permission from the State"...works for Dealers and product misuse.
Nowhere else in the 49 other States is there an absolute, felony Charge, irrespective State residency Licensing, that otherwise eligible persons be prohibited possession of a Handgun within the State borders, and with population increases and ownership increases, it should become apparent the Laws are antiquated, unfair, unconstitutional, and unworkable....problem with fixing the issue are the unintelligent, unmitigated assholes that comprise the Democrat controlled NY Law making body.

BD disappeared from here for quite a while once before. Then he reappeared and started posting again. Then disappeared again...

He was a good contributor to this forum. IMHO
Hope everything is good with him.

He was a Lib, but seemed like a nice guy and I enjoyed his posting. Hope all is well with him and his family.

Yeah him and I were not on the same page so to speak but he was respectful and easy to have a dialog with.

He was the kind of member that when he stopped posting I noticed. That's not always the case.
