As you know, a lot of knuckleheads continue to have an irrational fear about firearms. While frustrating, this story made me chuckle...

School officials in Illinois are posting the following image on school campuses...

It definitely gets the point across.

But apparently, some officials find the image abrasive. Theresa Nolan, principal of Tinley Park High School, noted "I would have appreciated something more subtle, yet still recognizable — a logo, perhaps, not a gun. You can’t look at this (sticker) and not think about Sandy Hook."

Superintendent John Byrne remarked that "the image can be frightening, but if it keeps the world safer, that’s OK."

lol

These are the smart folks running the public school system.

And just in case you think this type of nonsense from school officials is uncommon, here are a few related stories...

- A 7-year-old boy in Maryland gets suspended for "nibbling a breakfast pastry into the shape of a pistol."

- a 10-year-old boy in Ohio gets suspended for putting his "fingers into shape of gun.

- a 2nd-grader in Virginia gets suspended for "pretending his pencil was a gun."

- a high-school kid in Maine gets suspended for bringing a squirt gun to school. (To be fair, the squirt gun looks exactly like a glock. See image below.)

- 2 7th-graders in Virginia get suspended "for playing with airsoft gun in front yard."

- a 10-year-old boy in Tennessee gets disciplined after "waving around a slice of pizza some say resembled a gun." (For more chuckles: "School leaders say the 10-year-old threatened other students at his lunch table with a piece of pizza with bites out of it so it looked like a gun.")

- a 3rd-grader's cupcakes are confiscated because they're "topped with toy soldiers that had guns."

- a 9-year-old boy in New York gets threatened with suspension for bringing a LEGO toy to school. The terrifying toy, pictured below, included a 2-inch gun.

- an 8-year-old boy in Rhode Island has his hat confiscated because it has holds toy soldiers with tiny guns.

- a 7-year-old boy in New Jersey brings a Nerf-style toy gun to school. Police arrived and charged the body "with possessing an imitation firearm in or on an education institution."

I could go on all day with these examples. But once again, Tommy Lee Jones perfectly sums up my feelings...

It was less than 25 years ago when there was firearms & archery classes in public schools. After those classes where outlawed the school shootings began. Coincidence?
 
Shit when I was in elementary school the highschool kids had gun racks in the back window of their pickup trucks, fully stocked. Yes they were loaded. No one gave a shit.
 
If the kids at Sandy Hook had all been wearing concealed firearms you really think Adam Lanza would have been dumb enough to shoot that place up? I rest my case.

Patriots: ∞
Liberal idiots: -∞

I know, Theresa- pictures have a weird way of triggering comparisons.

For example, when I look at your picture, all I can think of is grabbing that porno hair and going balls-deep in your talk-hole until you gag up on my testes. :eatmousepointer:

Funny thing, eh?

Exactly this. When I was growing up my family had a weekend place in Washington state in a rural community call Sudden Valley. We were there pretty much every weekend and on holidays, come hell or high water; my dad loved it there. As a result, I grew up with loads of American friends, some of which were proper rednecks from logging communities around Mt. Baker. If we had a pro dev day in Vancouver, my parents would take the day off, we'd go down to the States, and I'd go hang out at Mt. Baker high school for the day. So many of the pickups in the parking lot had fully loaded gun racks. My best friend there, who would go on to join the 101st, usually had a loaded Chinese made AK47 in the trunk of his Camaro. And not a single fuck was given.

Damn kids shoulda known better
 
I am the only one who went to high school where "Nerf Wars" were epic week long battles? Where the training grounds were the hallways between classes and bathrooms were the only safe zone? I remember kids literally doing drive-bys after school shooting 2 guns at a time from the back of an open Jeep at teachers getting in their cars to score easy points.

Not at all an inner city school, either.

That is because you had the safety of the group. If you alone went "shooting 2 guns at a time from the back of an open jeep" it would have been a different story.

Politicians fear groups. They cower to them. Maybe one day 'murica will stand up, and come back and start having nerf fights in the halls of congress
