RWN has the story.  A middle-schooler wore an NRA t-shirt to school and, when he refused to take it off, the teacher removed him from class.  The school suspended him and had him arrested for obstruction and disturbing the education process.  Lame.

Eighth grader Jared Marcum wore a shirt that featured the NRA logo and a hunting rifle. The shirt didn’t violate school policy, which specifically bans clothing that features profanity, violence, and discriminatory messages, but says nothing about guns.

When Jared arrived at school, his teacher demanded that he remove the shirt. He refused. His teacher then had him removed from the class room, he was suspended, and then arrested and charged with obstruction and disturbing the education process.

All for wearing a NRA T-Shirt that says "Protect Your Rights."

What, are we in China?

Marcum’s father, Allen Lardieri, is naturally upset that his son has been treated this way. He’s vowed to "go to the ends of the earth, I will call people, I will write letters, I will do everything in the legal realm to make sure this does not happen again."

The ignorance is shocking .

Even if you discard the moral argument for a moment, this is still shocking when you consider the implications from the parental rights angle.  This ruling further erodes the notion of family, eliminating the parents' role in raising their kids, transferring it instead to the State with all their wisdom.

Morality step back in, and what you have here is an excuse in a bottle.  The easier you make it for kids to do whatever they feel like, the more often they will do it.  No risk, no consequences, easy fixes.  Why not?

The hoops that I as a parent currently have to jump through just to get an asthma inhaler kept at my kids' school for emergencies are there by design to keep them safe, keep the medicine from being abused (intentionally or unintentionally), and so that we can be notified by their medical staff whenever it needs to be used.  But if a "13 year old can purchase a powerful hormonal drug that can almost quite literally rip out her uterus lining without anyone ever having to know about it" that's just fine and dandy.

A 7-year-old can be suspended for making a Pop Tart gun, and his 12-year-old sister can get the pill whether her parents like it or not. -@jtLOL

Not only dangerous, but also potentially illegal.  Nice going, Mr. Vice President.

LOL!  I'd like to see the semi-auto that can take out a railroad.  Semi-auto grenade launcher maybe? Methinks he's been into the apple wine...

As it turns out, hammers aren't the only thing that surpass firearms in deaths per year.

This time around, they'll be coming to take your guns - whether you like it or not.  From Say Uncle:

If you’re going to advocate gun controls, it helps to know what you’re talking about: … banning assault rifles or limiting high-capacity ammunition, …. Layers of editorial oversight.

I’m a gun owner and a conservative but …

The assault weapons ban did no good but we should pass one anyway because GUNS! More of the same.

Make the NRA accountable for the actions of gun owners. Just like the AARP should be held accountable every time an old person confuses the gas for the brake.

AOL.com comes out for gun bans.
