Be happy for him!

It is where in schools, if you bring a gun, they kick you out for some strange reason...

Crap thanks for the heads up I need to get my gun out of my locker. LMFAO

I always stored mine in a friend's locker (he didn't use it). This way if it was discovered I wouldn't have to take the rap for it.

Must not have been a good friend, eh?

Pawn is a better word. While I never really brought a gun in to the school I did have a habit of storing things in other peoples lockers if the need presented itself.

I did bring a gun to school once because I had forgotten to take it out of the car when I came home the night before. I didn't realize this until the end of the day and when I did I made sure to get out of that school zone as quickly as possible (for people not in the USA: Having a firearm within 300 feet of a school zone is a felony. In fact doing just about anything within 300 feet of a school zone is. ).

I had a couple of friends who would bring their shotguns and rifles to school all of the time during the hunting seasons. They used to come school after spending a few hours in the woods before hand...if they killed anything they would skip but otherwise they'd just load up the truck (with the guns in a lock box) and come directly to class.

Heh I remember bringing a pocket knife to school in the 4th grade and not begin able to figure out why it wasn't allowed. As far as I was concerned "sharping my pencil" and "never knowing when I might need it" were valid reasons for carrying it at all times (just like the old man ). My dad came in and cleaned that whole mess up for me, they even gave me my pocket knife back and let me keep it for the rest of the day with a stern reminder that I should leave it at home on school days.

School system is nuts these days...

lol.


UK's gun ban is ridiculous.

"A new study suggests the use of handguns in crime rose by 40% in the two years after the weapons were banned."

This is from your STATE SANCTIONED news media.

Here you'll see US and UK crime rates compared:

You'll notice that the UK's is higher. You'll also notice Switzerland has a lower crime rate than both, and they also have this:

All of this is irrelevant though, as found by the study by the CDC, that I like below.

http://www.cdc.gov/mmwR/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5214a2.htm

You are obviously ignorant. The CDC, a pro-gun control group found that:

"The Task Force found insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of any of the firearms laws or combinations of laws reviewed on violent outcomes."

Meaning, more or less, that guns have little to do with violence from country to country and it is more related to the culture of the residents.

More food for thought:

All your gun laws do is disarm law abiding citizens and leave them unable to protect themselves from people who wish to hurt them. What do you have to fear from a law abiding citizen? Why are you scared of your fellow man being armed?
