"Except that it's against the law to have a gun on school property." And, Lord knows, NO ONE has ever willingly violated the law! The law, sir, is a ass. My father in law recalls going to school with a Colt .45 strapped on and having to hang it up on his coat hook when he got to school. Far from being illegal to carry a gun to school, it was unfathomable not to. And no one was ever shot on school grounds. While those two kids in question were in possession of that rifle they were unquestionably the safest two kids on campus. My old tagline was "The Holocaust was perfectly legal" and I used to have to explain to people that what was legal was not necesarily right. Gun control, even at a public school, is wrong. Oddly enough, I am in the company of liberal Rosie O'Donnell when I say that. See, she applied for a permit for her child's bodyguard to carry a full-auto 9mm Uzi on the grounds of a public school. Of course, she doesn't want YOUR kid protected with a machine gun and she say that YOUR kid is safer when guns are banned from schools. But, for some inexplicable reason, HER KID is safer when protected with an Uzi. Summary: I don't give a flying fig about ANY gun control laws. Anyone who violates them is not a criminal, but a PATRIOT.

So tote your rifle down to the school house and explain to the cops when they show up that The law, sir, is a ass. And while they're putting you in the back of their car, tell them you're just being patriotic.

I didn't say that I agree with the law or that I like the law, but the kids were in violation of the law. They were foolish to have had a rifle outside the car on school property. Unless this was staged so that they could get a case in front of the Supreme Court and argue the "law is a ass" argument, they were just stupid. And, as the law would have it, criminally stupid.

We have every right to try to change the law if we disagree with it, but until we're successful at changing it we need to live within it. Or be willing to suffer the consequences.
