I would not do it, but I am not going to tell someone else that they can't.

"should be allowed"????????????????

What, is a law coming where you can't take a picture of someone holding a gun?

God, is that a stupid poll.

Exactly what I thought. Not "is it tacky" or "would you do it." Instead it's "Should families be allowed..."

I personally wouldn't do it, but not allowing someone to violates their 1a and 2a rights.

It is so sad that we live in a time and place where the assumption is we must have permission before we express ourselves.

Somebody smarter/more motivated than me can probably find it... I read an article a while back about a kid who's yearbook photo was rejected because he was holding a fencing foil. You know, those BBQ skewer looking things that bend like a twig... It was a weapon, and the school didn't want to send a message...

So there's already a "law"

Yes:3500
No: 4330

I'll give you one better...

A few years ago there was a flap at some high school in Londonderry NH where a kid had a yearbook photo where he was holding an O/U with the action broken open because the kid was a skeet/trap type.

Where other students might pose for their senior yearbook photo with tennis rackets or favorite cars, Blake Douglass (search) wants to be seen with his shotgun.
The 17-year-old senior filed a federal lawsuit to force Londonderry High School (search) to allow the photo and give up the policy school officials used to reject it.

Wasn't there also another kid last year (I think) that had his yearbook pic rejected because he was wearing a uniform (ROTC maybe, not sure) as he was going into the service after graduation? Ya I know, a little short on the specifics.
This stuff is just disgusting to say the least.

 

[Iram]

Not only is the question dumb, so are the answers. It's not "Yes" and "No", it's "because it's their right to do so" and "because it sends the wrong message".

What If I think "Yes, becuse it's awesome." ?

 

[Broc]

What about he kid that got in trouble for having a plastic soldier?
