A student of Logan Middle School near Charleston, West
Virginia has been arrested, suspended and now faces charges for wearing an NRA
T-shirt with the printed image of a firearm and the words “Protect Your Right” to
school. Police have confirmed that the
student was arrested and faces charges of obstruction and disturbing the
education process after getting into an argument over the shirt.
COMMENTS:
The shirt is not inflammatory, racial or sexist. The school and the cops are, thus far,
refusing to discuss their rationale.
This is censorship to the nth degree and a direct violation of First
Amendment Rights in an effort to stifle Second Amendment Rights. The staff responsible should be terminated and
the school itself should be sued; the only problem I have with that is when the
student wins, the taxpayers will end up being on the hook for totally wrong behavior
on the part of school and law enforcement employees.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Would any of the guns laws they’ve been talking about
have prevented the Boston Marathon Bombings?
(Veronica ~ Antelope, CA)
A. Well, they certainly had a lot of weapons capable of
shooting a lot of rounds and they had access to explosives or the making of explosives. I think they would have had that access
regardless of gun laws, because if the gun laws are strict enough you create
black markets. On the other hand, how
would you like to have been sitting there in the Boston suburbs those last few
hours, huddled with your family and knowing one of the bad guys could be in
your neighborhood and you don’t have a gun in the house?
Q. It appears that at least one of the two Boston suspects
was trained and radicalized, probably in Chechnya or even Iran. That sets up the prospect that there are more
people like them waiting to strike terror in the United States. How to we prevent that? (Hank ~ Bremerton, WA)
A. That’s a lot easier suggested than done. I do believe that we need a huge lug wrench to tighten up the
borders. We let people into the country
on passports or visas, they stay and we don’t chase them down and deport
them. We don’t perform background checks
on people wanting to immigrate into the country. We don’t pay enough attention to where people
go when they are out of our country and what they do while they are there. Here in America, we walk the streets
oblivious of the stark reality that there are terrorist cells already in all
parts of the country; we should all be alert to signs of trouble.
Q. The news about North Korea got lost last week in the
stories of Boston, the poison letters and the Texas fertilizer plant. Their midget dictator must be beside
himself. What’s going on? (Sandra ~ Danville, CA)
A. North Korea is demanding the removal of all sanctions and
the end to South Korea’s military drills before it will even consider talks
with the U.S. Secretary of State Kerry’s
visit with China over the North Korean issue has produced results; China is
strengthening its ties with the rogue nation.
