If I were their father they would be getting the ass-beating of their lives, for shooting AT other people.
Thought police out in force
Legally, is the gun in question “a firearm?” If it isn’t, then the school is maliciously libeling the student.
The biggest mistake parents make today is sending their children to public schools with these asinine policies.
Name the person who ordered the suspension.
Publish their address and phone number.
Make them worry.
Really worry.
Do it now.
It’s time this bull-Obama stuff stops.

In order for the tyrannical government to ensure they never meet with resistance or a revolt, the emasculation of boys (war on boys) continues..
Q: Does the ATF regulate the sale and possession of air guns? Is an air gun classified as a “firearm” under Federal law?Source: http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/firearms-technology.html
The term “firearm” is defined in the Gun Control Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Section 921(a)(3), to include “(A) any weapon (including a starter gun), which will, or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon….”
Based on Section 921(a)(3), air guns, because they use compressed air and not an explosive to expel a projectile, do not constitute firearms under Federal law — unless they are manufactured with the frames or receivers of an actual firearm. Accordingly, the domestic sale and possession of air guns is normally unregulated under the Federal firearms laws enforced by ATF.

Looking at the actual letter (https://linmedia-cms.endplay.com/documents/234677/0/Principal%27s+response/f65e30ee-1e06-49a3-b212-30e18a55b6cb) from the school, we find the real reason:
In the course of the investigation, conducted in concert with a police officer and the school division Office of Safety and Loss Control, we identified the children who were firing pellet guns at each other and at people near the bus stop. Several students verified that they had been hit by pellets and had the marks to support their claims. In one instance, a child was only 10 feet from the bus stop and ran from the shots being fired but was still hit. Another student claimed to be shot in the back while running away during a previous incident Wednesday, Sept. 11. This child was also shot in the arm and head during Thursday’s incident
He wasn’t suspended for having an airsoft gun. He was suspended for assaulting other kids waiting for the school bus with it.
LAWSUIT TIME............
1. HOME SCHOOL
2. PRIVATE SCHOOL
3. CYBER SCHOOL
exactly... the parents should say, “thank you very much,” and never send him back—to any government school...
Pellet guns fire metal or lead pellets. Airsoft use only plastic BB's...
Big difference here.
There were several posts regarding this on the other thread.

Really......an Airsoft gun?
Absolutely, filed by the parents of the kids at the bus stop who were being shot at by this hooligan.
