Court Jester
Other than the half dozen reasons that I've given that you don't think are common enough, none.I'm not a criminal and I neither own nor hate guns. I just simply don't know why anyone would justify taking one on a passenger train other than to make a statement that they can, so they do.
The real question is why you continue to drive discussion on this issue on this when you (correctly and thanks!) recognized the fact that there doesn't have to be any good reason.
Like Upstate said, people that use trains are the in the gross minority, so should we abolish Amtrak?
Edit to add: The amendment passed.

Edit2:
Here's a slightly longer article. This wasn't in the house version of the bill, so it's something that's going to get discussed in conference and then have to be re-voted on by both houses, so it isn't a done deal yet.
