This is taking “zero tolerance” just a little too far.

A junior high student in Arizona was doodling in class and ended up suspended. Wanna know why? Because he doodled a picture of a gun. Yep, he was suspended for five days from Payne Junior High School in Maricopa County, Arizona – all because he was bored and drew a picture of a gun on his paper. This is just going way too far, if you ask me.


Utah stops issuing gun permits to foreigners
January 7th, 2008 under Freedom, Guns. [ Comments: none ]

Until now, citizens of foreign countries were able to get a permit to carry a concealed weapon in Utah. I’m not talking about the freedom to carry arms for United States citizens. I’m talking about foreigners. Utah has issued 92,000 gun permits since 1995; non-residents make up 30 percent of that number. They have now stopped the practice, saying it is too hard to do the background checks.
