It's something of an old subject now, after all that Columbine stuff and that obese documentary guy that doesn't know how to shut his whiny trap, but it never fails to amuse me. Schools shitting half ton bricks over a 10 year drawing Barney with an AK-47. Whats the big deal eh? I mean, sure it's not exactly rainbows and a bag of skittles when a kid decides to put a 9mm slug into ol' jock straps face (after years of being bullied for milk money and what not, but lets not lose focus here), but must we really call for a state of emergency everytime a child points his fingers yells "bang!"?
In 1951, "Billy" could bring his shotgun proudly displayed on the gunrack of his truck. The principle of the school might go over and take a look at Billys gun. He might then go to his own truck and pull out his shotgun to compare with Billy's. Then they would have a nice little chat about shotguns n' shootn' stuff n' 'alladat before Billys first period class.
Today, if Billy were to come to school with freakin' slingshot, panic would ensue, the SWAT team will be called in and CNN will be there interviewing frightened little highschool kids blithering about what a horrific nightmare the whole ordeal has been. Billy would probably never see the light of day again.
Of course, I realize times have changed. Columbine DID in fact happen and Obese dude did make some valid points in that documentary he did, but really. REALLY. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, no?
