Yes I’m sure this will reduce violence
I mean I’m all for stricter gun regulations, but chopping everybody’s fingers off might be a bit much. Granted.
I’ve gotta wonder if the charge is being pushed by someone who opposes the law being talked about in the video, who wants its first application to be in a case so ridiculous it’ll create mass public opposition to it or something. That’s the only scenario I can think of where an otherwise functioning adult may make a decision that poor.
Now I’m no judge, but I see this as a first amendment violation. The student was expressing his disdain towards the kids in a jackass sort of way, but being a jackass isn’t and shouldn’t be against the law.
I would be inclined to agree. Schools themselves have wide latitude to police this type of thing, much wider than general criminal law could do. So I have no problem with the kid being suspended. The criminal charge on the other hand is another matter entirely. That seems like a clear 1st Amendment violation.
Depends on context. In this case it’s obvious it’s not a “true threat.” https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt1-7-5-6/ALDE_00013807/
In Tennessee, it’s a felony for impersonating a gun. Having a real one on the other hand is perfectly acceptable.
Finger guns are not covered under the 2nd amendment.
Well you see your honor: the hand is connected to the arm… And we have the right to bear arms so…
