Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
It's all about feeeeelings and not using your brain.
We don’t want children to learn anything, just to feel what we want them to feel.
I own and shoot flintlocks on a regular basis, I think they are more fun to shoot then anything else. When you know what you are doing, they are accurate and deadly.
Flintlocks may be hundreds of years old, but they will still kill someone deader then hell.
Now if he brought condoms and some erotica, then he’s A-OK.
Idiot schools.
Times may have changed, but human nature hasn't. Nor is all "change" change for the Good.
Personal arms carried by individuals for their own defense, or even the defense of others, is a Founding Right of every US Citizen.
Idiot political hacks masquerading as educators are doing a grave disservice to our Countries upcoming Generations. Those doing it deliberately are actively engaging in Sedition.
Powder..patch..ball FIRE!
Not all flintlocks are hundreds of years old...
I have a flintlock musket that was made in 1904. It is a Belgium African trade item that was to be paid for with ivory.
66 caliber, 42” barrel and it sounds like a lion’s cough when it gets lit up.
IF I had to school today, I would be expelled in short order.
I used to comb the library for “Colby” books on weapons, fighting vehicles and aircraft, and for history books on WWI, WWII, and for biographies of leaders and soldiers. I used to doodle battle scenes and weapons. At Scouts we had people demonstrate flintlocks, and we made shields, tomahawks and spears to play “indians.”
None of these things are allowed today. I suspect most of them would get you expelled.
I guess I’m lucky I have daughters that are not interested in these things. Otherwise, I’d be locked in continual battle with the school board.
Liberals are insane.
Ok, so I can see both sides. One, there are rules against guns on school property and those rules don’t distinguish between Saturday night specials and working colonial era replicas. I’ve made a couple of those replicas from kits and sure they take forever and a day to load but perhaps if he brought non-working replicas that would be a different story. It wouldn’t have taken him long to disable it and everyone would have been happy.
Junior gave a class presentation a couple years ago and got permission from the principal to bring various weapons (not a gun). No fuss, no muss, permission granted, no biggie. A couple years before that I found a .22 in the restroom and no one got their panties in a wad, but then this is Texas where students always bring in pics to share of what they bagged over the weekend.
Back in the day, everyone had a shotgun in our headache racks, ammo rolled all over the pickup, and we’d park their vehicles in the school parking lot with the windows rolled down. We’d also have knives in our boots and Skoal in our back pockets.
Why are they upset, these educators? Aren’t they the ones who constantly tell us that these are the type of weapons the Second Amendment was talking about and not those dangerous automatic weapons of today?
He actually went on leave a few years later to "find himself" in the desert. turns out he really was crazy in the clinical sense. Still liked the guy.
You're right, Metcalfe. Back in the day, they didn't let hoplophobic girly-men be principals of schools. But you're still wrong.
M.O.R.O.N.S.
>”These are funtioning weapons, even though there is no ammunition, and basically we feel that times have changed,” Metcalfe said.
Isn’t that the WHOLE POINT of bringing in the whole historical assembly? </exhasperation>
