Googling this… At the moment, the only source online is a single local newspaper, which omits numerous key details. Might turn out to be nothing.
TBF, that’s how I robbed Chase Bank last week.
I’ve gotta wonder if the charge is being pushed by someone who opposes the law being talked about in the video, who wants its first application to be in a case so ridiculous it’ll create mass public opposition to it or something. That’s the only scenario I can think of where an otherwise functioning adult may make a decision that poor.
In Tennessee, it’s a felony for impersonating a gun. Having a real one on the other hand is perfectly acceptable.
“It’s me, a 8mm Glock. I like to lie threatenly on tables and being pointed at minorities.” What do you think, pretty convincing, right?
Student with actual gun given a thumbs-up and a gentle kiss on the forehead.
More repuglican insanity
Clearly you weren’t in a dangerous finger-standoff by yourselves.

We have the best High Schools, because of jail.
Now I’m no judge, but I see this as a first amendment violation. The student was expressing his disdain towards the kids in a jackass sort of way, but being a jackass isn’t and shouldn’t be against the law.
I would be inclined to agree. Schools themselves have wide latitude to police this type of thing, much wider than general criminal law could do. So I have no problem with the kid being suspended. The criminal charge on the other hand is another matter entirely. That seems like a clear 1st Amendment violation.
Depends on context. In this case it’s obvious it’s not a “true threat.” https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt1-7-5-6/ALDE_00013807/

Anything but addressing the core issue.
Yes I’m sure this will reduce violence
/me makes throat slitting gesture
Oi you got a licosonse for that gesture.
I mean I’m all for stricter gun regulations, but chopping everybody’s fingers off might be a bit much. Granted.
How else will they learn though?
Finger guns are not covered under the 2nd amendment.
But they should be covered under the 1st amendment. The problem is that children don’t have many rights in the US.
It’s the right to bear arms, not the right to bare arms!
Yes it does, finger guns 100% existed in the 18th century
Well you see your honor: the hand is connected to the arm… And we have the right to bear arms so…
Ah, the RFK Jr defense. Nice.
The arms are a right, the hands at the end of them are a privilege…
I prefer to have the right to Bear Arms, tbh.
Then ask your bear to make a finger gun
I can tell you that I was forbidden from doing that while playing during a vacation in Colorado, mere months before Columbine. This bullshit is ridiculous.
