I don't think everyone is really thinking through the whole situation here. You are being VERY naive (sp?) to be surprised that these items are getting through security.

Loaded guns, yeah, and hand grenades, oh well. Too bad about the bombs. Those things could conceivably be small. Guess I'll have to live with a few hundred loaded handguns
But rifles? Shouldn't x-ray detect rifles going through security?
Oh, and the most recent security incident at ATL involved the person walking through security with the handgun in his pocket. He didn't get beeped, or if he did, no one seemed to care.
Then again, I'm actually not worried about it. I don't think serious hijackers would take the risk of even a 10% chance (I'm just making up a number out of thin air) that they could smuggle a loaded gun through. Too risky for a large-scale operation to chance.
