The other night, some MDA "propaganda" was found left of cars in the parking lot one county over after "Open House" it caused quite a stir here locally..

So much so that the principal sent this out the next day...

I did not authorize the distribution of the fliers that people found on their vehicles last night and I would never approve a request to distribute such literature. Unfortunately, we cannot patrol our parking lots at all times and somebody did this without our approval or knowledge. Many at the faculty, including myself, were as displeased as you were to find this flier on their vehicle.

They ignored the rules about doing such things at a school event (imagine that, not obeying rules on school property) Interesting that MDA would put people in position to need apologize for them...

So where do they stand on banning "assault weapons" and normal-capacity magazines? benEzra Sep 2015 #44

Yes, an assault weapons ban is one of the items on their long term agenda and I don't care. flamin lib Sep 2015 #49
