Ask the TSA to Reject Atlanta's Request - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Lets get everybody to help out this could affect everyone!!

The Atlanta airport administration is trying to go through the backdoor in its fight to defy a new Georgia state law and continue a ban on guns in the public, non- sterile areas of its airport. And this now affects gun owners in every state, because the airport is asking the TSA to setup a nationwide regulation banning guns on airport property, including the public, non-sterile areas!!!
No more leaving a gun in your car while you catch a flight. No more carrying a gun in parking lots or on public sidewalks at airports. No more having a gun in your car as you drive to the airport to pick someone up or drop them off.
We must contact the TSA and the President and Vice President and ask them to keep the U.S. Government from implementing such a ban!
Send an email using the three addresses below. Suggested text is included. Please ask your friends and family in Georgia and other states to make this request as well. We also suggest that you send three separate emails, rather than one email with three addressees.

SUBJECT: Leave state law alone on lawful gun carry in airports!
Dear President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and TSA Administrator Hawley:
I am concerned that big city officials from Atlanta and elements of the anti-gun movement are moving to misuse federal power to accomplish what they cannot do in state capitols - i.e., criminalize gun carry in the public and non-sterile areas of airports.
The vast majority of state legislatures support the right to carry handguns in public, including the non-sterile areas of airports. Any effort to reverse these state law decisions by way of the federal bureaucracy insults federalism and the right to bear arms.
According to the Supreme Court in the Heller decision the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right and, "[a]t the time of the founding, as now, to 'bear' meant to "'carry.'"
Please ensure the TSA stays out of gun ban politics in Atlanta and across the Unites States!
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
YOUR ADDRESS

Thank you for your assistance on this matter. Thousands of emails from around the country should let them know there is some concern over this issue among the voters

How many people are able to help with this?. It will only take a minute and if the TSA weighs in on this against us it will affect all airports.

You need to bring this to the attention of the Aircraft Owner's and Pilot's Association. There are way too many pilots out there that carry a gun with them and they won't put up with this crap.
