| I was just wondering if anybody on here or anyone with kids have had problems with there school raising hell about them not wanting students talking about guns? I myself am 23 so it hasn't been longs since I got out of school and when I was in high school at Canfield Ohio from 1999 to 2003 I used to talk among friends in class about gun collecting and even brought some issues of Guns Magazine in a few times. Well, needless to say some teachers especially the one raised all kinds of hell and told me that I was promoting fear amonst the students and I wasn't aloud to talk about guns. He would give me such a hard time about it and said I could get suspended or expelled from school just for talking about them with friends or people I got along with in class. Looking back now I think it is still bullshit and I say that is where the 1st Amendment comes in I am sorry. As far as I am concerned those anti gun teachers and classmates should have minded there own fucking business.h If I ever have kids I am not gonna let that shit happen. So what do you all think? Ever have in problems like that with yourself if you are around my age or have kids in school who have been bullyed by faculty people? Just curious as to your thoughts.ht |

I am doing my ENG 102 paper on Heller vs. D.C. / individual right vs. Collective right thoeries. So today i thought I would ask my history teacher if had any suggestions for books to read entailing the mindset and fears of the founding fathers and what of those may have influenced their decisions while creating the Bill of Rights. He sent me to the head of the history department who scoffed at me with disdain and intermittently lectured me about how the BOR was outdated and has been correctly interpreted as a collective right for years and now just recently someone was going to try to force the issue while they had a favorable Supreme Court. I just kinda  and waited for him to give me a chance to bail. He was a fucking dick all around pretty much. |

There was a picture of me with a rifle in my high school yearbook. Also, during my Senior year in high school (1985/86), we had to study the bill-to-law process in Government class. Each of could create a fictional bill, or use a real one. We'd brief it, debate it, vote, etc. I chose the the Firearms Owners' Protection Act. It passed in class, and it passed DC. My children are only 4 & 8, but no issues as of yet. |
or your high school American Govt teacher  My American Govt' teacher was fairly cool toward me....till he found out I was a conservative, after that he didn't much care for me. we did one of those dumb surveys to see where you fall on the political spectrum. One wall was liberal the other wall about was conservative. You were spaced out based on your score -70 was liberal +70 was conservative. I was the most conservative in the class by 15 fucking points! heck in our mock senate we had my "bill" i tried passing was to revoke the Brady bill, 1934 NFA, and the 1986 machine gun ban.------------That flew over like a lead balloon. The other students added so much pork and re-worded he bill so much that it was the opposite of what i wanted. And I got a bad grade on it to boot. |

5 years ago my principal called my dad because i was drawing pistols. My dad told him " Yea my son draws better than i do." He shut up real quick. Tomorrow i will once again be doing my part to piss off the admin @ my school. Im taking a reloading book and a copy of special weapons magazine for reading after csaps(Standardized testing). |
That's too bad. In our model congress I snuck a repeal of the '94 AWB onto the "Bomb China" bill. Passed all around. (the bomb China Bill was in response to the sinking of an American cruise ship in international waters) |
back in Jr. High school (now its a 'middle school') we could get off for a couple of days in PAs doe season. All we needed was a note from our parents.  But this was the late 70s. Back when deer season was still an unofficial state holiday...(And there was one season for buck and one for doe.) Most places still have the first day of deer off. Since theres so many people who will be sick otherwise. Where I worked before, the maintance ppl decided to work on something over the thanksgiving/1st day of deer time off. They fucked up something good! And the only ones who could fix it, were out that week hunting.

| Nice to hear that most of you didn't have the experiance that I did in school. But I take it that most people on here for that matter graduated pre Columbine. But one things for sure I am glad that I am no longer in high school. And if I ever have any kids I will raise all kinds of hell and the facaulty won't get the end of it if I have kids and they give them trouble for talking about guns.host |
| Start a "gay and lesbian gun owners club" (apprication for lesbians and what they have done to increase the use and popularity of the internet will suffice for acceptance in to the club) and you can make the school set aside time, money and space to have discussions about it. |

I pretty much kept my mouth shut about guns in high school but I recently had a chance to voice my opinion talking about the Heller case in my college law class. Of course the vast majority of the large class was anti-gun (everyone except me and one other person) including the professor. After a few minutes of me and another student dominating the debate the professor changed the subject. I just remembered another time in my E-Commerce class the professor mentioned that it was illegal to buy a gun over the internet. I blurted out something to the effect of "no it's not, lot's of people do and you get the best prices online". I got a few weird looks. |
Yeah sounds like they wanted to do to me a few times. I am just glad that high school has been over for me for 5 years now. Damn wimps and there anti gun bullshit. If they read any of those Ash's series books such as Out of the Ashes, Fire In The Ashes and so on by William Johnstone they would know that in order to have a free state you must have guns. Otherwise the government could turn this country into a totaltarian type of country. And they never realize either that criminals will always be able to get guns. Especially organized crime and terrorist groups. hough |
