very timely, a local high school went into a 3 hour lockdown after it was reported that someone saw a student in the halls carrying a rifle. oh, except it wasn't a rifle, it was a microphone stand.
When i was in HS 96'-98' we use to take our guns to school and the principle would keep them in his office. The ammo in the school office.We use to hunt right out back of the school in the thick pines. I remember twice shooting black power .50cal into hay bales on the football field and two field trips to our teachers dump to shoot .22 at everything and anything. Now since the road goes directly by the school your in violation for driving by with any gun in the car. Our nation has conformed to a bunch of wussies.
I laughed a lot. A lot of this really does apply and is mostly true as an example of how ridiculous so many people have become. Incrementalism, folks. This is what happens when people allow FEAR to control their thoughts, and when they have been conditioned to accept their own enslavement.
Heard from the local middle school the other day, after a "pantsing" incident (you know; pulling down someone's pants): Anyone caught Pantsing will be expelled, subject to lawsuit and being registered as a sexual offender. Can't make this stuff up.
To add to the above posting, grabbing a young ladies behind in the hallway could render the same consequences.
Yep, it's that ol' Liberal Disease breaking out all over..... In high school in the early 70's, we wore buck knives in pouches on our belts - they were TOOLS. We built Black Powder pistols in metal shop. A buddy and I used a Winchester Model 12 shooting shotless shells into a steel trashcan backstage as the 'cannons' for a rousing rendition of the "1812 Overture" - the audience LOVED it - our ears rang for a couple days...... One year we had a model rocket club - it folded after the first and only 'launchday'...... school looked like it had undergone a mortar attack - it was FUN!! Do any of that nowadays, it's jailtime.......
Blame it on soccer moms protecting their little boys. We got mad moms and bike helmets, and knee pads and alternative lifestyles, and two and half men and ooohwaaaa.... I think it started with blue parking spots and got worse from there. They take our money and exert controls and make rules to circumvent the laws of nature and natural selection.
