Article Summary

Amtrak is thinking about letting passengers store guns in lockboxes on most of its trains, a move that's drawing criticism, especially after a man was arrested for allegedly bringing weapons by train to target President Trump at a Washington event. The article highlights concerns that allowing more guns on trains could threaten public safety, especially in the wake of a recent violent incident, and suggests the policy shift is driven more by political pressure than safety needs. Critics, including gun safety advocates, argue Congress should step in to block the change.
