how would people feel if they looked back at the columbine yearbook and saw those 2 killers posing with their guns? i doubt everyone would be so sympathetic.

i wasn't saying that it was comparable to columbine. obviously it's not. but kids in high school posing with guns is just not cool. we live in a different world than even 10 years ago.

maybe it's because i live in the suburbs--no cows or skeet shooting here. to pose with a gun, or anything else, while in high school is just ridiculous around here. i've never even seen that.

if it's a picture of the skeet shooting team, then by all means hold the guns. but not in a senior picture. it's tacky as all hell as well.
This is a little ridiculous. I grew up in the suburbs, and went to a high school that couldn't have been more like Columbine without being it. My senior year boyfriend, the child of a chemical engineer and a chef, shot skeet at least once a week. He belonged to a gun club, as did most of the other affluent families in our town.

The guy I'm seeing now is an attorney. He belongs to a gun club too.

I'd be concerned if the kid was wearing a trenchcoat and holding an Uzi. This isn't any different than an archer, to me, and I doubt anybody would be upset by a bow and arrow in the yearbook.
