Rep. Madison Cawthorn tried to board a plane with a gun and loaded magazine in February

The representative forgot he was packing, people aren't incarcerated for being absent minded.

It isn't like he's a terrorist or anything.

He forgot is a good excuse as any.

Is this the same Cawthorn who gave the Crumbleys parenting advice?

Rep. Madison Cawthorn Says Parents Should Raise Sons to Be 'Monsters'

Cawthorn cited decreasing testosterone levels as evidence that young men in society are becoming less masculine.

You don't think he just forgot?

There are a lot of people out there who are absent minded you know

He was breaking the law and you make excuses claiming Congressmen aren't subject to the law???? How privileged and elitiest is that?

Do you store your loaded handgun in your luggage?

Just because an individual is a sitting politician, doesn't mean that he/she couldn't be radicalized and attempt to board a plane with a plan on killing people. We are in agreement that politicians aren't above the law.
It pisses me off when I see videos of people in positions of authority, pulled over for speeding, et cetera and the first thing out of their mouths is, "do you know who I am?!" That kind of response should demand a doubling of the fine the average person gets.
