The workbook, currently being utilized by seventh-graders at Grant Middle School in Springfield, Ill., teaches students that the Second Amendment gives people the “right to certain weapons, providing that they register them and they have not been in prison.”
Superintendent Bob Hill told 970 WMAY that the workbook is not the only resource that provides a definition of the Second Amendment and argued that the interpretation found in the material teaches students “what happens with the right to bear arms in the context of 2014.”
He argued that “no place in the book does it portray that that is the Second Amendment — it’s a study guide summary of the Second Amendment and the impact of the Second Amendment on the lives of people today.”
QUOTE
The full “definition” of the Second Amendment found in the workbook states:
This amendment states that people have the right to certain weapons, providing that they register them and they have not been in prison. The founding fathers included this amendment to prevent the United States from acting like the British who had tried to take weapons away from the colonists.

I've seen it. That demographic is in serious need of remedial drivers training. Someone's going to get killed.
I'd believe it. But then again seeing as how some are covered in a bed sheet with only a slit to see through, no wonder they suck at driving.

Today additional repression starts with the latest round of new Connecticut gun laws take effect. Now any person wanting to buy a long gun will need the blessing of the state police.
To purchase a shotgun or rifle, residences must either have a permit to carry or obtain a new long gun eligibility certificate from the Connecticut State Police. (police state) The fee for this permit is $35.00 (oppressive tax) and must be renewed every five years. If you wish to purchase just ammo, you need a Ammunition Eligibility Certificate.’
You must complete a Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection-approved firearms training course before eligibility.
And you must submit your fingerprints with application to both state and federal officials at a cost of $50.00 and $16.50. Then the State Police Commissioner has 60 to decide if a citizen of the United States is worthy of obtaining a firearm.
It will be interesting to see how long before a revolt occurs because of this draconian efforts of anti-gun lobbyists.
Larry Keane, National Shooting Sports Foundation senior vice president and general counsel to Guns.com on Friday said, "We urge all Connecticut gun owners to comply with this law that infringes upon their Second Amendment rights and will do nothing to help make our communities safer as it is ignored by criminals; we also urge all the states gun owners to be sure they are registered to vote and that they make their feelings known on Election Day this November.”

This appears to be somthing at the state level, the people of that state need to take their legislators back.

Piers stance on guns is too far fetched for most lefties, but I've watched a couple of the Piers Morgan vs. Ted Nugent videos and they're entertaining. They both make decent points now and then, but people like that would never make it as lawmakers themselves. That's why they make good commentators though.
