Quote:Can you explain how that t-shirt presents a "violent message"?  Is it because it says "Protect Your Right" and displays a firearm?  How many shootings have taken place by NRA members?  How many times has the NRA encouraged violence?  The NRA encourages people to exercise their rights using the ballot box, not their weapons.
I don't have to explain it. If I were a school administrator and a teacher or student approached me and said that they were concerned about a student walking around wearing a t-shirt with an assault rifle and an intimidating message on it, I would make the kid change too.

 

And yes, an all-caps message superimposed on an assault rifle is designed to intimidate while getting its point across. How does it intimidate? Simple. It suggests violence.
