I can buy an AR-15! There, I said it!
Now where’s the crime?????????
The offense is akin to joking about a bomb in the airport. One simply doesn’t do it.What? I find this completely bogus.
Based on the comments from the school, it sounds like the police made a false arrest.
The kid’s parents ought to sue.
He is wrong, he cannot buy one.
The reports of a number of potential copycats the past week is scary.
There have been numerous news reports of suspects being reported to police and follow-ups end up with arrests and significant caches of weapons/ammo.
“At the beginning of our first period class, a student stated, roughly, “I could buy an AR-15.”.....The student did not, in fact, specifically threaten to do harm but rather referenced the purchase of a weapon.”

If the kid were screaming it or speaking in the context of getting weapons such as were used in the FL shooting, I could see having the cops have a talk with him.
But, as it is, they trampled all over this kid’s rights for no valid reason. Goofy over-reaction.
A kid at the meeting with Trump said he just turned 18 and be could buy an AR 15. I didn’t see him being hauled off.
Time to sue the school. Stupid leftard principal turned super snowflake and had his panties in a twist..and F U cops for arresting someone who’s 1st amendment was disrespected.
I see where the ACLU is all over this (s/off)
“could” is subject to many meanings. It is a big English weasel word. So obviously the worst interpretation was taken, as if he had said “I want to buy ...”.
In today’s combative, confrontational, “zero tolerance” world, he was grabbed and persecuted. For words.
Anyone still think there’s free speech?
Ever make a mistake in speaking at an airport? “ooooo, you said the wrong word! jail for you!”
The left always acts big and bad and does have the capacity to kill millions but they are __________ at heart.
And the knee jerks,
If you say the word “gun” in school the teachers are in immediate fear for their lives.
