Another gun on the banned list, having a High Capacity Bubble Magazine.

A 5-year-old girl was suspended from school earlier this week after she made what the school called a "terrorist threat."

That is the 'tolerance' they ask for.

Heard about the drills at the local school. Kids are trained to hide under their desks on command.

I would train them that this is the one time to go postal, and run like the wind in a zig zag fashion, screaming like banshees.

The teacher, of course, should pull her concealed weapon and use it.

Certainly don't ball up and be an easy target.

I think they should move all the prisoners into schools and school kids into the prisons.

Its not about being safer. its easier to ID the bodies if they are under their appropriate desk.

America, new home of the frantic and hysterical......

Maybe we should start building a "safety vault" in each classroom that will hold the entire class and one teacher and one aide that can be locked internally and not opened unless by the President.

It could be included in the fire drill training I remember as a kid....

I'm surprised the article didn't say that her father had an "assault style, military style" rifle at home which is why there was so much concern. Now that would have explained it all. lol

I liken this to Feinstein saying that her rewritten weapon ban was going to be more thorough because she has been researching weapon photos on the internet.

I remember a local news story where the perp used a "semi-automatic revolver". The only one I know of is the gatling gun...

News reportards are idiots, at least just about all the ones I have ever had to deal with....

Feisnstein is an expert on nothing but draining the federal coffers...

I completely agree with Mr. Lane.......but it's sad that 90% of said idiots live in Washington D.C. and somehow infect the entire nation with stupidity!!!

The other 10% live in California and call themselves governors, senators, lawmakers.........

The news media hasn't been able to figure out the difference between automatic and semi-automatic, so they just attach "military style" or "assault style" (or my favorite "military assault style") to any weapon description to make it sound more ominous.

It's a good thing she wasn't using the same sticks as guns that we had when we were kids. They're definitely going to be banned because they must have had some high-capacity magazines, I don't ever remember stopping to reload.

Please, don't do that. This might look like a good idea to some of the iic's. (Idiots In Contol)

Consider:

The kids would be more secure from mean ol' nasty people with guns, knives and etc.

They would be better fed receiving on average better food than served in schools.

Better health and dental coverage (FREE!); heck, when they are through "discovering themselves" they can get a sex change operation for free since they've developed their LGBT side.

And, ironically enough, better educational opportunities!! They can "graduate" from prison with Law Degrees paid for by you and me!

Now for the prisoners in the school we can see opportunities for:

Quicker executions... no need for lengthy appeals.

A stricter participation policy. Miss a class and see what happens!

A stricter dress code... wear that blue/red bandanna to class or even a t-shirt with the American flag displayed and whoo-boy-howdy you're in trouble now!

People with shanks--- suspended!

People making gun shapes with their hand--- suspended!

Saying something bad about Obama-- expelled!

I apologize for being so inappropriate today... I just don't feel very "PC" right now.
