``This could easily cost a hundred grand, and that's not a good use of taxpayer money.''

By who's direction?

Greydog, articles like this and articles about things that go bang should have the keyword banglist. Otherwise, bttt.

Is that New Hampshire High School? Maybe they need a letter from the NRA, or a few Emails form gun owning citizens.

Showing a High School student with a sports rifel over his sholdier could be the thing that scares away those punks that takd advantage of liberal "feel good" schools and shoot them up.

Don't forget that the Principal of Colenbine went to his car and got a gun, an dcame back in and protected his students.

If a politician does not have the common sense to know that a law abiding citizen with a gun is not a threat, then that politician does not have the common sense to vote on how my tax money is to be spent.

Just another example of school administrators imposing their own views under color of law. Remember the kid who put a B-52 photo on his locker? The court made the school officials take a course on the Constitution, lol.

Then there is the kid that wore a t-shirt from an Army base that had a photo of a bronze statue of a WWII soldier holding a (gasp) military assault weapon (also bronze).

A lot of folks even here think kids in school should have no rights. Someday, maybe none of us will. But at least the kids will be well trained to accept it.

Football is legal. You can pose with a football. Guns are not illegal, either. This school is being stupid.

``This could easily cost a hundred grand, and that's not a good use of taxpayer money.''

How many people have given their lives to protect the first 2 amendments of the constitution. What does this idiot Greenburg think - well thanks to this article his position is clear. He'll waste $100K of taxpayer to push his agenda to deny this fella his constitutional rights.

The school principal said:

“I just felt that the picture with the skeet shooting rifle was something that should not be in a yearbook, and it would be something that would create controversy.” (09/24/04)

He's 50% correct :)

This kid should be able to have his picture. When I first heard of this, I thought perhaps he might have been trying to emulate a gangbanger with his stocking cap and arms folded across his chest holding a 9mm pistol.

This is the kids legal hobby and passion. This is just anti-gun liberals in action. Skeet shooting has nothing to do with school violence. Since you are five times more likely to be beaten to death with a pair of bare hands than to be killed with an assault weapon, should hands be outlawed from appearing in pictures? Just because a kid can hang him or herself with a belt, should belts be banned from pictures?

On a lighter note: I live in Massachusetts, and went up to NH to watch an airshow Sunday. A Massachusetts Air National Guard A-10 Thunderbolt was there, and after the pilot came out of the cockpit and took his harness off, I thought I saw a holstered sidearm. When I wondered aloud if it was, and if they were allowed to fly with them outside a war zone, my buddy interjected: "If he has to ditch in Cambridge, he is going to need his weapon!" (For those not in the know, Cambridge may be the most liberal part of the most liberal state in the union. We call it "The Peoples Republic of Cambridge...:)

School Superintendent Nate Greenberg said the photo submitted by Douglass is inappropriate given the epidemic of school violence that has swept the nation in recent years.

Behold the "nuance" of "Progressive" thought.

I would have loved to shoot skeet in HS.
Instead I ended up joining an NRA rifle team and shot on Saturday mornings. (Made sharpshooter.)
