VIDEO: What Are Your’s and Your Children’s Rights Should Their Schools Ask About Guns

As government agencies attempt to frame violence with guns as a “public health” issue and videos surface of a certain presidential candidate at one time saying the government can and will come into homes to inspect and verify safe storage laws are being met in her state, the 4th Amendment be damned, it’s clear we live in an era where more anti-gun bureaucrats feel it is their right to pry into our personal lives.

“Protecting children” is the guise these intrusions are masked under and on the surface, it might seem like a fair enough ask. If a child is being abused, most of us would like to think someone can step in and stop it. But even then, everyone, including the child, still have rights and at least at the time this was being written the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was still fairly intact and people still have a right to be “secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures…” That said, increasingly schools and pediatricians are inquiring of children and parents during routine interactions, “Do you have firearms in your home?”

The immediate answer is, “None of your f’ing business,” unless you’re buddies with the doc or the principal and he wants to know what rifle you’re using on your next African safari (ok, I’ve never been on one but it is a dream) or which carry gun you prefer because he’s looking for recommendations on a new one for himself. But typically, there is no good purpose to such questions other than to use them as a pretense to offer an anti-gun, nanny-state lecturing on why guns are bad or for a more nefarious purpose, to begin tracking gun owners and building a database that can be used against them politically in the “possibly” no-too-distant future.

Either way, when asked such questions, or when such topics inevitably come up, you do still have rights, including your children, and when necessary, there are ways to legally ensure you and your child remain protected, whether the discussion is about toy guns (as you’ll see in the video) or real ones in the home. Virginia attorney Gilbert Ambler offers some legal insight into this matter in the following video posted on his YouTube channel, The Commonwealth’s Gun Rights.
