gun control …..

I happen to see a short blurb in the paper yesterday about a young girl in one of my favorite states. Montana. Beautiful country there. Well anyway, seems the young lady is suspended from school because she reported that she had quite by mistake, left her hunting rifle in the trunk of her car.
She didn’t try and hide anything. She isn’t a member of some wacko group.  Now personally, I don’t know how you can forget you have a gun in your car. Even if it is in your trunk.  However .... I would also think that in that part of the country, a rifle is so much second nature it’s kind of like .... ?  I don’t know. I need an example.  But you know what I mean.

This might even get Drew outta bed. Heck of a story.

At first I couldn’t find the story I saw in our paper. So I Googled the town and state and bingo.  I found way more then I bargained for. I mean folks, there’s a lot here. More then first appeared in my Brit paper.
For example ... I found this unbelievable link.

A Colorado high-school student was informed of a 10-day suspension for having non-functioning drill team rifle replicas in her car in a parking lot at school.

A Texas school also threatened its students for even talking about guns

In another case, a student was suspended simply for advocating for the Second Amendment.

Whoa there .... huh?  So here’s the story on the young lady and all the links are here as well for you to read.

WEAPONS OF CHOICE

Community outraged at school’s suspension threat
Hunting rifle in trunk brings comment: ‘This is Montana, not Chicago!’

A community has surged forward to stand with a high school cheerleader who faces possible expulsion after she forgot to remove a hunting rifle from the trunk of her car and drove it to school.

“Good heavens educators. This is Montana, not Chicago! … To even consider punishment of any degree is outrageous. Remember, educators can be replaced,” wrote one person in the Kalispell Daily Inter Lake.

WND had reported days ago when Gary Marbut of the Montana Shooting Sports Association told WND he was contacted by the student’s mother.

Demarie DeReu is facing hearing Monday night with school district officials in the Columbia Falls school district to determine her future. Possible penalties include expulsion.

“She will possibly have her life derailed because a bunch of school idiots insist that she must be subject to an irrational, ‘zero tolerance’ policy about guns in schools that does not countenance lack of bad intent. The theory that people with malice will be intimidated into good conduct if people without malice are punished in lieu of them is idiocy at its finest,” Marbut has written.

He said DeReu, 16, is an honor roll student, a member of the Columbia Falls High School student council and a varsity cheerleader.

She’s also a hunter.

“Although she had no intent to break any rules or laws, or harm anyone, Demarie is at risk of having her college education derailed and maybe even being identified forever as a domestic terrorist,” Marbut reported.

It was over Thanksgiving that she went hunting with family and friends, but when she returned home forgot her unloaded hunting rifle was cased and locked in the trunk of her car.

When she returned to school, and heard an announcement that a “contraband” dog would be making the rounds of the parking lot, she remembered the gun locked in her trunk.

In an interview today with WND, she reported what had happened.

She said she told officials right away about her forgetfulness, and asked whether she could move the car or take it home.

Instead, she was escorted from her class by Assistant Principal Scott Gaiser who told her she would be expelled from school.

She hasn’t been back at class since.

The expulsion threat, in fact, also was included in a letter the superintendent sent the family, her attorney, Sean Frampton, told WND.

The Daily Inter Lake reported today that expulsion was an unlikely result, and, in fact, the superintendent, Michael Nicosia, told a WND reader in an e-mail that was forwarded to WND, “I could not and will not recommend expulsion in this matter.”

Backtracking on the message in the earlier letter to the family, he wrote, “If you knew our school district and how our board works with our kids, you would understand that this whole thing is greatly blown out of proportion. We live in a hunting and shooting sport culture. That is understood and respected. If those that have flooded the internet took the time to talk to me and/or a single board member, they would know that common sense and understanding will be use in the matter as in all such matters.”

The community sentiments were evident in the Inter Lake comment pages:

* “I think she did everything right.”

* “So the school superintendent is upset that people have been creating ‘a lot of hullaballoo” for nothing. I wonder where people got the idea that this kid was going to be expelled. On yeah, her principal said this.”

* “Nicosia’s current comments certainly do contradict what he said earlier. He is the one that blew this out of proportion and it was the comments and pressure from the public that restored some sanity.”

* “‘There’s been a lot of hullaballoo for nothing.’ NOTHING?? The sacred, God-given, constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms is NOTHING?”

* “Only in Montana, a cheerleader and honor student who hunts!!”

* “Let’s see if I can break this down. Basically, these educators would have tossed this girl on the trash heap without a second thought, in blind obedience to their zero tolerance policy. But now, with all the public outrage, they are concerned about their image and will feign common sense.”

The teen told WND she took hunter’s education when she was in 8th grade and got a buck her first hunting season. Ever since, she has a process to make sure her gun is unloaded and secured in its case.

“We are a hunting community,” she said. “It’s very common.”

Frampton said he expects numerous members of the community to be at the Monday night hearing for the cheerleader.

Marbut researched state law.

“The controlling Montana law about this is 20-5-202, M.C.A., which says about expulsion for bringing guns ‘to school,’ ‘… the trustees may authorize the school administration to modify the requirement for expulsion of a student on a case-by-case basis.’ Further, ‘to school’ is not defined in 20-5-2-202, but is at 45-8-361, M.C.A. as ‘… in a school building.’ Demarie’s hunting rifle was cased and locked in the trunk of her car in the parking lot, but not ‘in a school building,’” Marbut wrote.

In fact, Montana law specifies that “a student who is determined to have brought a firearm to school under this subsection must be expelled from school for a period of not less than 1 year, except that the trustees may authorize the school administration to modify the requirement for expulsion of a student on a case-by-case basis.”

State law also makes multiple references to banning any “weapon” from being “in a school building.”

WND reported earlier when a professor at a Connecticut school sparked controversy by calling police when a student talked about the Second Amendment during a class speech.

The report came from the Recorder, a newspaper at Central Connecticut State University, which cited the case of student John Wahlberg.

The student was fulfilling an assignment for his Communications 140 class that required him to discuss a “relevant issue in the media” when he and two other students on a team chose to talk about school violence, including recent events such as the 2007 shootings that left nearly three dozen people dead at Virginia Tech University.

The court fight over whether it can be enforced is pending before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

There’s a bit more at the link and other links on the World Net page. Quite interesting.

professor at a Connecticut school ?  That does not surprise me at all.  I almost think I can name the professor. Just a hunch but that idiot might be retired now anyway. It just reminds me of someone from long ago. Yeah, a dumb libtard.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
