The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The argument concerns only whether people with gun permits can carry concealed firearms in the public areas of the terminal. Restricted areas, including spaces beyond security checkpoints, are governed by federal law, which forbids unauthorized firearms in those areas.
The dispute in Atlanta comes at a time when the regulation of firearms across the country is changing. In a decision last month, the United States Supreme Court supported the individual right to own a gun for personal use.

"My belief is if the legislature believed this would allow people to bring guns to the busiest airport in the world, they never would have passed it," he said.
Well then it'll be easy to get it repealed or amended. You shouldn't just ignore a law you think is wrong. What if citizens carrying guns said they decided to ignore the ban on them because they thought it was wrong? Yeah they would be locked up. hmmm.
