If someone wanted to come to school and shoot up the place wouldn't they just walk in with a rifle?
Y'know... the policy about no coats makes sense if you've seen this video
Of course, you have to suspend common sense and not ask questions like, "I wonder if he could walk or otherwise go about a normal school day with most of that in there, especially the shotgun.
And of course, you have to go into this mindset wherein the person is irrelevant; it is the mere presence of the object that causes harm.
As to the kid sent to the office for drawing a picture of a gun, I recall two reports here on INGO, one of a kid with a baseball cap to which he glued some plastic "Army Men" in support of a family member who was a soldier in the sandbox. (The kid was told he could not have it at school because the soldiers on his hat had guns) and the other in which a child was sent to the principal's office for pointing a french fry at another student and saying "Bang".
"Zero Tolerance" equals zero thinking. If the school staff are not capable of using judgment and realizing that a student carrying a gun is in violation of the law, but that a squirt gun or a pointed finger is not a danger to anyone, then they have no business teaching our children.
