#3 If they showed any tolerance, it wouldn't be a zero-tolerance policy, would it?

#4 I, for one, welcome Zero-Tolerance policies. I can get rid of my thinkin' and common-sense brain parts; I'm with the 67.84% of the electorate seems to agree that "Zero-Tolerance" is the way to go! /sarc off

#5 She will be harshly punished for her "offence". The only thing that can save her is if gun rights folks in Colorado came to her aid and demonstrated at the school. Wont happen. Sigh.

#6 So in other words the School board and the expulsion officer are staying that they are so stupid they can't tell the difference between a real rifle and a mock one made of wood and Duct Tape.

Why I see guns held together with Duct Tape all the time on gunbroker.com. Don't you?

#8 Well, I don't know how much of this actually relates to her status in the Young Marines. While I am sure it didn't help (crazy people who like the military and all that), we had the same issue at my old high school school once with a white-taped wooden rifle that belonged to a flag girl in the marching band.

#9 "possessing a dangerous weapon "

ANd that, dear readers, is the basis for a lawsuit to smash the hoplophobic assholes into legal dust.
