(6,234 posts)I suggest you delete that before some hot house orchid sprints off to Meta to throw a hissy fit. Equating the US Marines with (you can fill in the rest) is a BAD thing to suggest.
Moving along:
It might be reasonable for a school to ban images of firearms. I haven't seen any studies to suggest that this is anything other than feel-good nonsense, but it's their school. In America, however, certain things ALWAYS get a pass, and our military is one of those things.
I don't really care about the gun control issue, but stories like this one make the pro-gun control people look silly. The problem is not the reporting, the problem is that it happened. If you want to win a debate using reason, it is best to reject the unreasonable extreme from your ranks.
