Iowa girl suspended for empty shotgun shell at school October 28, 2009 Des Moines, Iowa (AP) — A Des Moines, Iowa, girl who brought an empty shotgun shell to school to show her science teacher was suspended for violating the school's weapons policy. Authorities say 12-year-old Jazmine Martin brought the shell to school last week. It was a souvenir from a summer vacation to South Dakota. It was empty and had the word "blank" written on the front. Jazmine said that during fourth period, she was pulled out of class and questioned about her souvenir. Brody Middle School Principal Randy Gordon said Jazmine actually brought a bag of shell casings and shared them with other kids. Gordon said that even though they were empty, the casings are considered ammunition, which violates the school's weapon policy. ---

Sheer idiocy. Empty plastic tubes are not "ammunition", I don't care what one "considers" them. What next, pieces of wood are "guns" becase you know, some pistol grips are made from wood?
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
We used to find empty shells in the fields during hunting seasons. As a kid it was a novelty item but not worth taking to show and tell.
The BATFE/FBI/police don't consider them ammunition. The girls' parents should put her in a private school and sue the middle school for eleventy-billion $$$ just to swamp the school district budget in legal fees.
_________________________________________________________________________ Christ almighty, why don't they just execute the little girl and get this effing program to it's logical conclusion? I see the reporter carelessly left out the part about the little girl screaming "ALLAHU AKBAR!" and repeatedly threatening to "wipe Israel & the jews off the face of the map."
Excellent reply. I feel just as outraged as you. The schools have become lackeys of Washington and no longer think for themselves. Sorry-ass situation.

...the casings are considered ammunition...
