If a student can pose with a horse, ATV, football, or any other item associated with a sport or hobby what's the problem? I personally love the reactions in the comments section....

I use to live in Fremont, NE, and hunting is indeed a very big part of the culture. When I attended high school in Nebraska we would bring our shotguns to school, leaving them in our vehicles. Then after school a bunch of us would go hunting pheasant or quail, and if we were lucky, bring home dinner.

The comments do indeed demonstrate just how unhinged idiots can be around firearms.

I think it is way beyond time to reactivate the Federal DCM (Director of Civilian Marksmanship), and put firearms training and gun clubs back in schools. There are too many parents who will not teach their kids about guns, thinking they will never see one or want one.
I see no problems at all with allowing pictures of guns in the yearbook. In fact, I am fully in favor of it.

I'm just curious as to why students would even want to pose with a gun. It just frightens some other students. It isn't "cool." It's psychotic.

Sure, why not. It's called freedom. Long ago kids brought guns to school.

I'm no gun nut but I find it hilarious that our culture often eats meat 3 meals a day yet somehow hunting still remains somewhat "taboo".

My hubby would have loved to pose with his gun.

Hunting has always been a huge part of his life.

Wow, the people in the comments are nuts. Screaming about death machines and saying the kids should hold condoms and vibrators in their yearbook pics. HuffPo has a lot of seriously deranged readers.

As a side note, I think the school should not use prop pics in the yearbook anyway. I haven't seen a high school yearbook in years, but it used to be that every senior wore the same thing in their senior pics. I took a variety of pics for my Senior pictures and have ones in my cheerleading uniform, etc, but only the drape picture was published in the actual yearbook.

NO-couldn't be haha.

I guess some people would rather turn a blind eye to the atrocities and devastation caused by commercial slaughterhouses and concentrated animal feeding operations. We are eating sick, weak animals and destroying the environment in the process. At least hunting is more sustainable and localized.
