“I’m sorry, did you mistake this forum for the Pantywaisted Gun-Haters Forum? “
No, I mistook it for a forum where I didn’t have to agree with the status quo and could exercise my 1st Amendment rights.
My mistake.
PS — I own three guns and my grandfather was a veteran of both World Wars, sharpshooter in the first one, taught me to handle guns.
And since everybody seems so interested, I wear flameproof size XL Jockey twist proof y-fronts.
Free Republic is a private forum and you and I are here at the pleasure of our host, Jim Robinson. This is not a public space.

I'll be blunt: If you know how to handle firearms then you'd know not to be concerned about empty shell casings. I can only conclude that you know as much about firearms whatever you've heard on NBC News.

Welcome to Free Republic.
My ASS you do. If you even own a gun at all, you obviously have no idea how to operate it or how it works. If you did, you would not think that spent brass is dangerous.
Too bad he didn't teach you an empty casing {Meaning primer has been expended and no round is attached to the casing} is in no way a harm to anyone unless perhaps an idiot swallows it and gets a bowel blockage. Seriously, even in grade school my classmates had spent rounds. I carried a spent shotgun shell with the primer punched out. It was a great whistle.
By these same standards any teacher taking students to any museum where so much as a historical mussel-loader or cannon is on display should also be arrested. There are plenty of cases where they have remained loaded for over a hundred years and can still in fact fire.
Rather than cheering on the principal and idiots who hired him what about simply demanding a firearms safety class be taught in school? Now that would actually save lives. This rule isn't about saving lives rather it is teaching children very young Government controls you and Guns Are Bad.
The same freaks in education who panic over an empty round or a Pop Tart would be the same to invite their friends from some Gay education group into class minus parents advance notice or permission. Now to me that is criminal acts worthy of jail time and definitely banishment from ever teaching again.
Fools names fools faces teaching class in public places is the rule these days more than the exception.
You also clearly don't know squat about the First Amendment. This is a privately owned site, not government run or funded. Ergo, the First Amendment is not invoked.
Bye...
