Agreed, you made a dumb point.
You are saying that somehow a picture of a gun is related to school shootings. He wasn't supporting the shooter, he is supporting his 2nd amendment rights...
How is that inappropriate?
Kids did this in the 90's to counter the desire of the right to censor hard rock, rap & video games.

A school has a right to control the content of its yearbook. They decided that his photo was in poor taste. You can disagree with their determination of what's in bad taste, but that's about all you can do.
This thread is getting hilarious when it's really simple. The kid tried to pass a pic and it goes against school regulations.
Some douche in my senior year tried to pass a pic of him doing the "hang loose" sign, school rejected that, as they have specific guidelines for a yearbook pic. No one cried "my freedoms".

You're just being obtuse at this point.A school has a right to control the content of its yearbook. They decided that his photo was in poor taste. You can disagree with their determination of what's in bad taste, but that's about all you can do.
Originally posted by Omega Visionmy point is how are pictures of guns and t-shirts with pictures of guns inappropriate? School is a forum for learning and exchanging ideas, not daycares for Man & Woman-babies...
It's me who's not sure of your point. Why are you quibbling with everyone right now?Edit: LOL @ TI trying to derail.
Agreed on Ti...

An opened up digital clock from the 80's isn't a bomb, TI. The Clock-kid's a little douche and phony, but I don't think he broke school regulations.
Things of note since you're trying to equate a picture being denied to clock-boy, gun-douche didn't get arrested; he was just told "no".

He is a Islamic Supremacist from a Supremacist family that's intent was to promote terror and then get our system do defend him.
It's priceless to hear you call him a douche because you and everyone else here on the liberal side fell into the trap and believed it and defended him for so long

I'm not sure how your high school worked, but even in my HS (which is in a really pro-gun area) nobody would have ever thought to submit a picture like that.
Here's the thing: this sort of picture is the kind of glamour shot that egomaniacal shooters tend to take before going on their rampages. Not saying that's what this kid is, just saying that this isn't the sort of thing a humble gunowner does. It doesn't really glorify the 2nd Amendment because the 2nd Amendment is supposed to be a practical consideration. Now, this is going to be a bit of a tangent, but since I'm on the subject might as well continue. I think gunnuts get the 2nd Amendment wrong all the time. It isn't there so that people can have twenty guns and shoot them all the time for fun or just so they can feel good. The idea was that guns were necessary for hunting and building a well-regulated militia. Most people don't hunt and no one's in a militia these days, so the point of the 2nd Amendment has been lost, and now people treat guns like a religion. I think that's what this kid is doing. I'd have no issue with it if he was hunting in the photo in full camos and all that. But this is just him trying to look like a badass and it comes off as immature and tone deaf.

This isn't anything new, once it came out that he didn't actually invent anything, but just knackered up a shitbox and tried to pass it off as an "invention", practically everyone went "oh, that little douche". You were there in the thread when it happened.
Not sure what clock-kid has to do with gun-douche picture boy.

You're thinking of colleges. Grade school has always been pretty whitewashed when it comes to "mature" subjects like sex, drugs, alcohol, guns, etc.I'm not sure how your high school worked, but even in my HS (which is in a really pro-gun area) nobody would have ever thought to submit a picture like that.

Citation needed on glamour shot serial killers, especially vs all the people who just want to look tough, thuggish or whatever reason folks pose with firearms.
The 2nd amendment is there to give people the right to destroy there own government should it become corrupt, granted this makes little sense in practice but on the same hand I'm generally against the right to gather and "peacefully" riot. So how is a picture of a gun inappropriate for a young adult to see?
Originally posted by Time-Immemorialhow is one kid bringing supposed bomb supplies anything like this issue? One is an issue of possible racism, unless you're saying this kid can't pose with a gun because he's white?
Its totally relevant. Why is this kid's freedoms being revoked while another was given national recognition. This is bias.
