This sounds like something out of a commie country. Is ammo banned in the state?

[camle]

why they call 'em MASS-holes

[dead]

I'm as pro second amendment as anybody, but I sure as hell wouldn't want my son's teacher taking him out of state to buy ammo. I'll buy his damn ammo!

I'll wait till I hear the particulars before I start choosing sides.

Horror Bump.

Of course, it's OK for teachers to drive students across state lines to kill thier babies.
If it wasn't for Mass. being on our Northern border, Konnecticut would seem REALLY liberal!

The report did not mention in how the LAW got involved in this issue.

Uh maybe their parents told the law.

I know the whacked out gun nuts(i.e I have a right to own a nuclear weapon) will be howling, but that teacher was stupid and I am glad he was arrested.

[Fred Mertz]

I find this story hard to believe. On second thought, it is Massachusetts....

Massachusetts Teacher Arrested for driving three teenage students to another state to buy bullets.

The leftists shouldn't get too upset yet.

They could have been buying them for a partial-birth abortion.

Then it would be alright again.

Teacher's Aide Arrested On Firearms Charges
Ammunition Allegedly Later Used In Drive-By Shooting

WORCESTER, Mass. -- A teacher's aide in Worcester's public schools has been arrested on federal firearms charges for allegedly driving to New Hampshire with three students to buy ammunition that was later used in a drive-by shooting.

Thomas Currier, 53, was arrested Thursday on a charge of being a felon in possession of ammunition. Currier pleaded guilty to armed robbery in the mid-1970s and served almost two years in a New Hampshire prison.

Currier, a teacher's aide at an alternative public school in Worcester, drove three of his juvenile students to New Hampshire on about Jan. 10 to purchase ammunition which was subsequently used in a shooting in Worcester on Feb. 2, federal authorities said.

"It is unconscionable that someone who is responsible for teaching and mentoring young students would transport them across state lines to purchase ammunition," U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan said.

Currier will remain in federal custody until a detention hearing scheduled for Monday.

If convicted, Currier faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.

I shouldn't let this suprise me after learning that Sean on "Survivor" is a teacher.

But Massachusetts has no problem with teachers driving students across state lines for an abortion?

[ElectricStrawberry]

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm sure I'll have to deal with this on this weekend's freep. Being a Mass-hole, until this Commonwealth can straighten itself out, feel free to bash away.

One of them there ex-hippies. He forgot where he was during the seventies.

Something is fishy here. This is a sort of terrorism case. The jurisdiction given to criminality and retained from law abiding citizens, for example, is getting way too habitual. A gun owner may possess a certain greater jurisdiction than a non-gun owner, but a school teacher has huge jurisdiction over generations of hundreds of students every year that they observe and hence can control. Gun owners do not observe or control people with their guns, hence they have no such jurisdiction over others as everyone is trying to make people believe. IMO school teachers should be hence the priority when it comes to registering people with special jurisdictional powers. Doctors of course would come close second.

Just like loose immigration, there is a conduit for criminality that is wide open, and it is educators in general, especially the tenured ones, as well as certain liberal journalists who hate guns. Now is it any wonder that these very people who use their great jurisdictional powers to observe and control people happen to be the very fascists who not only cry for gun control, but also commit drug crimes and such conspiracy smelling crime of a teacher taking kids to buy bullets.

[Tauzero]

I guess we can be sure the teacher isn't gay.

[Caipirabob]

His crime is that he was driving three high school students to a nearby state to purchase ammo.

Perhaps it's that an unauthorized adult brought minors over the state line period.

It may not have anything to do with the bullets.

[KC_Conspirator]

If they crossed state lines to have an abortion or go to some fisting class, then there would be no hubbub.

[TBarnett34]

Maybe the kids couldn't afford the Massachusetts tax on bullets..it's gotta be what, 125%?

The title should read "Ex-felon MA teacher's aide arrested for illegal possession of ammunition". The original title does not accurately describe the situation.
