2 Mead High School students expelled for possessing and transferring gun and ammo on school grounds

[BlasterBob]

"they brought a firearm and ammunition on school grounds to give one other, the Weld County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday"

Lot of possibilities here. Youngsters could have merely been trying different types of firearms so they know which to ask for as a Christmas gift. Was there actually a transfer being made? Parents are probably extremely strong DemoCRAPS and only had a firearm in their house because Grampa's old .22 was forgotten and left in the attic after he took the deep six. Possible!

Hmmm ... how about we all take a step back? The information in the story is sketchy -- is Cooke a knee-jerk anti-gun Obamoron? It's been pointed out the parents themselves were the ones who turned the kids in. Perhaps we could give them some credit for trying to be parents and loving their kids and think about what might motivate parents to do this? What if Adam Lanza's mother had turned him in before he shot her? What if Loughner's parents or Holmes' family had asked the sheriff to pick them up before they committed THEIR crimes?

I'd like to wait for some more information before immediately assuming the parents are unloving fearful idiots.
