the people that are going to own guns likely didnt turn theirs in, as it wasnt manditory, and the people that did and do end up owning guns, good for them.

when they do buy backs, are they mandatory or something? no one was forced to turn their toy guns in or face extra homework.

These children are so young, most (if not all) of them have probably never even given adult gun ownership a second's thought.

so you are demonising the principal and even second guess what he thinks
he got the idea from a photographer (in the linked story) if you bothered to read that
maybe the photographer demonises guns but there is not enough information
and you clearly demonise everyone who does not think about guns the same way you do

btw, better follow up on your various provincial elections around the world

I'm pretty sure they are still free to do whatever they want, and the principal has no power over them outside the school. Stop acting like they are signing away their freedom by giving away a toy gun.
Personally, I think this is retarded and pointless, but it's also completely harmless. If the school wants to give books for toy guns, let them. Nobody is being forced to do anything.

A photographer? What a scholarly source! I shall ask my photographer friend if I can use him as the source for my next research paper.

But they shouldn't have to do anything. The fact that they are doing this shit is ridiculous. Just like all of those kids getting arrested for eating poptarts and saying their name in sign language.

this is the dumbest thing I've read all day
no wonder california is up to it's ears drowned in debt, retards

let me quote from what you seemingly didn't read because you went all up in arms without reflecting:

Hill said he got the idea for the toy gun exchange from a photographer, Horace Gibson, who takes students' school pictures and who expressed concern about the spate of shootings of young people by police in Oakland.



are you jumping up and down if a father let's a kid play with a real gun (just showing the kid some responsibility with guns)?
are you just as jumpy on other issues? do other people have no right to express their opinions?
you definitely have to work on your social skills

Which is even more ridiculous. "Own a gun? You deserve to die!"

The photographer's reasons for taking a picture has nothing to do with the principal's reasons for trying to push his anti-freedom agenda.
