Wow! Kind of overdoing it. I mean, everyone knows that hiding under your desk will protect you from atomic bombs. I'm sure a little' ol bullet would be no problem.

The original story said each rifle cost $680, which might cover something in a semi-auto of some kind. Maybe they got an Educator Discount.

Dear young tender naif ripe-for-"plucking" H0mer0, let me just say by way of explanation and obfuscation, that in my younger years, I was married and divorced four times, last in 1978, and that after that about 50 ladies and I mutually enjoyed intimate encounters, and they all survived those encounters without being digested and shat out thru my good American asshole, as Wm. S. Burroughs said in his "Thanksgiving Prayer".

I hope that is sufficient elucidation for your purposes. Escape your home-schooling background as soon as possible and, as in the parlance of our times, "Partay!"

Now go forth and watch "Candy", if you can find it. One of the best bad movies ever made, with an all-star cast [Burton, Brando, Coburn, Huston, Matthau, Ringo, etc.]. You? You're Ewa Aulin, for having to ask that question.

At first I read that as "first, second, and third graders," which would also work.

"KBOI TV reports that the school is also “considering spending up to $2,000 to purchase extra magazine rounds and body armor vests, according to school board documents. Each rifle was purchased for $680.”"

"Well we don't have enough money for books and teaching supplies and..."

Oh don't be silly. The NRA isn't about to start giving the guns away when scaring the shit out of people so that they buy their own arsenals is a much more lucrative business model.

Sure, buying rifles for the school may seem like a good investment today, but what about when the president stops being black?

As best I recall, the BoM doesn't mention potatoes either. Although it does talk about horses, which is a whole 'nother set of apologetics.

Oh, I'm sure it's semi-auto. A Ruger Mini-14 lists for just over a grand. I'm sure they could get a deal.
