McCarran airport with a video? As long as it doesn't involve anyone lip synching to Celine Dion singing All By Myself...

I imagine that there are a whole bunch of parents of kids in prison for MJ possession who would like to have a word with Cliven about that whole 'a criminal – for simply having something' thing...

If the knife is the only barrier, I don't see why she couldn't attend school with maybe a bazooka or submachine gun as a substitute.

So Cliven Bundy's grandkid should be allowed to carry a knife to school, but the next Michael Brown should have his fists amputated because... deadly weapons

So, really late here, but I just revisited this article, and I thought I would save the cute "fuck-free" icon, figuring that Shy or somebody had ginned it up. But, from the savefile name, I gather that it is an actual facebook thing. Is this true, or am I being metatrolled?

I only log onto facebook once or twice a month, to see if any of my relatives have died, so I'm not really up to speed on this shit.

If she needs to be armed she'll make herself a shiv, just like all the other kids.

<i>“I hope that somehow figures this out because I still would like to go to this school,” she said “I really don’t want to be homeschooled.”</i>

Poor Cliven -- the lazy, godless, socialist, facist, communist teachers have already ruined his daughter.

Homeschooled in the Bundy Compound. Seems like a contradiction in terms.

Lesson One: Behavior of The Negro, and why they are unhappy unless they have a lot of work to do. Lesson Two: Guns, our partner in freedom Lesson Three: Hey, little girl, have you ever seen a grown man nekkid?

And of course the commenters are defending Bundy and deriding the school system for being a bastion of "political correctness".

CCSD Regulation 5141.1 is pretty clear - a pocket knife is a weapon. Weapons are not permitted on campus. If Mr. Bundy has a problem with this, I suggest he contact his school board representative. Otherwise, he can just have a seat right over there.

Look on the bright side, the first time they try to pull this "I can take a knife anywhere I wanna" on a TSA agent at McCarran Airport there will be great video as hilarity ensues.

Leaving out pocket knives in the Second Amendment must've been an oversight. Maybe his little girl should switch to an Uzi. What harm could come of that?

But why? If you're home-schooled you get to spend more time with your fam-- ohhhh.

You can bet that there was some discussion around the kitchen table whether to send her to school packing heat.

As a child and a female I'm sure the family will keep her preferences foremost in their minds as they decide their next move.
