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.
What's funny/ironic is that I bet that they wouldn't have a problem with the "propriety" of time or place if a gay student wanted to appear in a dress or something like that.
A shotgun, not a rifle. Of course the principal got that wrong too in his statement to the press.
