Two students at Lacey Township High School were placed on 5 days of suspension, plus Saturday suspension, for posting pictures on social media of firearms with the caption of "fun day at the range,” according to NJ101.5.

Not only are they after the Second Amendment, they are also after the First Amendment. [More]
Well yeah. We can't have any "pro-gun" teens left. That's not only a threat to the approved narrative, but the whole point of ideological cleansing is to eradicate badthink. And badthinkers.

On the issue of ERPOs what the NRA-ILA once referred to as “firearm surrender bills,” he said, “We need to stop dangerous people before they act.

But It's for a Good Cause...

The national school walkout for gun control that took place at many public schools across the country Wednesday likely violated the Constitution.

Way to go, Lee Paige Award finalist. But notice how many headlines simply identify the negligent f*** as a "teacher," bolstering the armed "Only Ones" good / armed teachers bad notion.  So how convenient the story also mentions:
The shooting occurs amid intense debate over whether to arm teachers in the wake of the Parkland, Fla. shooting...
Where is he politically? Information takes time to dig, so we can look at the company he's been known to keep.  I did find out he was a Peace Corps volunteer, which suggests "progressive" sympathies. I further found he teamed up with other collectivists to end Prop 13 corporate property tax exemptions to redistribute the wealth they create to public schools, and that group endorsed a host of anti-gun Democrats, publicizes "Resistagrams," endorsed California's Disarmageddon, and now calls for nationwide citizen disarmament in the wake of Parkland.

He also had the endorsement of the Central Coast Labor Council, which features praise for Hillary and condemnation for Trump on its website.

Pardon me if I smell something other than an "accident" -- something that went wrong with unintended collateral damage. It seems to me an in-depth and transparent investigation is in order.

UPDATE: Yeah, the gun-grabbers are exploiting this alright. I guess that means "progressive" cops should not be armed...?  These people are such shameless liars.
