Although, perhaps now each student should be warned and aware that if you even say the word "gun" the school and even the police will investigate you.

It is contagious PC hysteria. There is great power in the tyranny of emotion these days.

Leaving aside the bogus reason for obtaining it, I don't think you're allowed to refuse a legal warrant.


You misread, or I didn't write clear enough. If a warrant wasn't obtained. No way in hell you are searching my home.

So one school completely ignores multiple real threats and warnings and another school goes full on red alert over an innocent comment. How can anyone not be assured that their kids are being looked after?

Another example of bureaucrats that go for the soft target in an attempt to enforce group think while avoiding real work such as the Florida school shooter.

Way easier to strut and parade around against those that won't fight back.

I predict they will redesign that symbol because of it's racisss and scary looks.
And as George Carlin says, "I leave symbols to the symbol minded".

I think that would be cause for a lawsuit--big time! The parents should hire a really good lawyer!

Given the right mood, in profile my dick and balls look like a gun. Mention that and the spasmatic Sheriff could haul me in on two simultaneous PC violations.
