So let me understand this. If you bring a gun on school property to hunt with after school, you’re Federally mandated to be expelled for one year? So the kid loses one year of education for practicing a Constitutional RIGHT? We’re in upside-down-land where Rights are able to be regulated away and kids are kicked out of school for a year for practicing those Rights.
Get the Fed out of schools! Get rid of the Dept. of Ed! Down with the NEA!
Sad. In 1985, we kept shotguns in our trucks at school all the time during bird seasons. Sometimes, the superintendent of schools would come over to see how we did in the morning hunt.
I don’t get this automatic expulsion thing unless the kid is bringing the firearm to school to show off or brandish. Obviously that’s a safety issue.
Otherwise, if the kid is bringing the firearm to school to kill classmates and/or teachers, an expulsion is hardly a deterrent. This came about thanks to Columbine. Would those kids NOT have killed if there was the threat of expulsion?
If the firearm is locked up and secure, then it is not a safety issue, it’s most likely an oversight, so why should there be a punishment as severe as expulsion?
The students who reported this ought to be shunned by the rest of the student body. What a couple of tools.
kid, stay out. They obviously haven’t the brains God gave an ostrich.
The law is an Unconstitutional Bill of Attainder. It imposes a penalty by legislation without requiring conviction by a court for a crime, and without the punishment being ordered by the judge pursuant to the conviction, and where the punishment is triggered by the exercise of a Constitutional right.
GCA68 and every other gun law which got us here are Unconstitutional.
The NRA should be attempting to overturn these blatant infringements, instead of merely working at the periphery.
