While suspending a student for writing a flame letter is probably unwarranted, there is a lot of over-reaction to non-threats that has been going on in school systems since Columbine and this case is not special nor do it's advocates give a damn about the general problem. It seems obvious that he was asked to see a counselor because they thought he sounded like a lunatic who was possibly violent and not because he took a "pro-gunrights position." The later is an oversimplification that serves certain political interests. I'm not buying it.
