Note that telling them you have an unalienable Constitutionally-guaranteed right to keep and bear arms is not acceptable as good cause. Is everyone starting to get the picture?

Shocking the Conscience

School hid rapes of four 1st-graders

Student, 12, was allowed to stay in school after first assault

And this has what do do with gun rights?

Indirectly, this:

The case has also illustrated how difficult it can be under the law for parents to hold a school system responsible for the safety of their children...

In federal court last month, the district’s lawyer, John Freund III, argued that under the Constitution school officials cannot be held responsible simply for failing to protect youngsters from assaults by other students.

He cited federal court rulings that say school systems are generally immune from paying damages unless it can be shown that they actually took “affirmative” steps that put youngsters in danger, and that the action taken “shocks the conscience.”

I'd say this shocks my conscience:

You're compelled by law to give up the means to defend yourself and your children, and the same law is fixed so that no one is liable if people die as a result.

First, we believe in absolutely gun-free, zero-tolerance, totally safe schools. That means no guns in America's schools, period ... with the rare exception of law enforcement officers or trained security personnel.

We're the Faux Only Ones Enough

Farmington police say that a 25-year-old man with a history as a sex offender has entered a middle school at least ten times while dressed as a police officer.

We're the Only Ones Behaving Like Occupiers Enough

When two men delivering furniture for a reputable retailer end up getting shot by a customer, something has gone terribly wrong. When the shooter is a police officer and the incident took place in Prince George's County, alarm bells go off -- uh-oh, here we go again, say residents who have lived through all too many cases involving overzealous cops.

Then, when the police department leaps to the shooter's defense -- announcing initially, before any investigation, that the unarmed deliverymen would probably be charged with assault -- the groans of exasperation grow louder. [More]

"Out here, I am the court" just about says it all, doesn't it?
