JIM'S GEMS -THIS TICKS ME OFF



SCHOOLS GUN VIEWS GO TO FAR
By Jim Foster

I would think after all the time that has passed people would start looking at the way things actually are and stop the knee jerk reactions so commonplace in today’s society.

Several years ago I had a couple of friends who hunted regularly in Wisconsin and enjoyed the people along with their attitude regarding hunting and the safe and legal use of firearms. If you think that mentality remains – read on.

In a report – why did this even make the news – on WKOW television, a Beaver Dam, Wisconsin teacher has been suspended by the quasi-knowledgeable superintendent Donald Childs for posting a “Facebook” photo of her with a rifle.

The superintendent (AKA Jerk) told the reporters that he doesn’t know if the teacher will return to work.

The photo was very similar to the published stock photos above this article except the teacher posed with a rifle. The lady is a shooter, which is a legal activity and one of which she is obviously proud. Where is there law against this or say it makes her a bad teacher?

Unlike the school board she understands the first and second amendments of the constitution.

This overreaction because of a photograph of a gun has reached the point of showing how stupid the non-gun owning public has become. The bombardment of misinformation from the anti-gun Brady Bill dummies has gone overboard. Just as stupid as the expelling of an elementary student for wearing a pro-hunting t-shirt.

Is this activity really making a really bad statement or just more anti-gun drivel?

It is a shame we now have a guy in Washington who has been a Brady supporter and continues to be one. I hope the hunters and gun owners who voted for this jerk are happy. It’s time for this stupidity to stop and this “big-bad-gun” mentality come to screeching halt
.
As one who recommends travel locations, my advise is stay away from Beaver Dam unless it is made out of sticks and mud and has a real beaver swimming around somewhere.

To the person who reported her – Get a Life.

To Mrs. Ramsdale, there are millions on your side – hang tuff.
