big bills for your nine mil?

Please tell me someone has seen the commercial where the lady is urging high school students to turn in their guns at school and they will pay them????? Are you kidding me?? Ok im not from around here, is the Memphis scool system really that bad?? And if it is, why don't ya'll just have metal detectors at the entrance like other schools that have problems like this? Are the schools really that dangerous that they must bribe students with cash so that they won't carry their gun to school?? That is such a foreign concept to me. Yes, i understand i'm not in Franklin anymore, but this is not what i am used to at all. The most i ever heard of at the nearest public high school to me (which i was never allowed to attend mind you. Public schools=corruption hahaha) was some kid streaking at a basketball pep rally. If someone ever was caught with a gun in school, it would be headline news.

I don't think i agree with this at all. How much money are they giving out to these students? And that money, i assume is taxpayer's money. What do they think the students will go out and do with the money? If you ask me, give any student who is rebelious enough to bring a gun to school some money, and he will spend it on something else that is dangerous, maybe even a nicer gun. I simply think that if the school system is that worried about students bringing guns to school, they should take further measures to safen their schools. Install metal detectors in the lockers, have random locker checks, anything other than this program which is basically supporting their behavior. What they are essentially saying is "hey, bring your gun to school and we'll pay you for it" when they should be saying, "hey, if you bring a gun to school, you'll be expelled from school and arrested."

yeah, memphis city schools are bad. But Saying you'll be arrested ahsn't been working the past years so I guess the're just experimenting. Nothing wrong with that I guess. Kind of sad though. I've never had to deal with it. i went to Bolton. The COUNTRY school. The most violence was... people fighting over a parking space by the door.

That sounds pretttty weird. I wonder how legal it is to actually pay a minor for carrying a (probably) illegal fire arm to public grounds.

i think its totally riddiculuse to pay kids to turn in their guns and for people to oh their trying something new is almost as bad b/c if they doo it with guns whats gonna stop people from doing it with other drugs and stuff. and for the student to simply be expelled i feel isn't enought bc its illega as poon said and i think them kids need to be shoved too prison
