A Nevada high school student has been suspended after he called his congressman’s office and said lawmakers should “get off their f‑‑‑ing asses” and pass gun laws.
A staffer for Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.) reported 17-year-old Noah Christiansen’s language to Christiansen’s high school, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
The student made the phone call to his lawmaker during the national walkout to protest gun violence last week. His classmates handed out the phone numbers of different lawmakers to call during the protest to advocate for gun control.
Christiansen chose to call Amodei and spoke to one of his House staffers.
“I just said, ‘I believe bump stocks should be banned, the minimum age should be raised, and Congress people not already asking should get off their f—ing asses and do something about gun control,’” Christiansen said, according to The Post.

Even though standing, Rep. Mark still manages to sit with one half of his body.

Big. Fucking. No-No here in the Silver State. He had to scrub and redo the ad because people were pissed. It was fucking pathetic. Unless you're Hispanic/Amerindian, it's pronounced Neh-vaa-duh. It tickles me when people try to "correct" Nevadans in the pronunciation, and they STILL fuck it up. In the native Spanish pronunciation the "d" is pronounced in between a "d" and a "th" sound, NOT a "hard d" so y'all can go choke on it. 
Riddle me this: Why don't people who insist on correcting Nevadans pronounce Texas Tay-hahss? Or New Mexico Noo-way-voh May-he-coh?
And what a fucking shocker. Washoe County School District won't defend the 1st Amendment rights of a student just like they didn't defend the LIFE of a classmate of mine in the 90s whom, just for example, one day the hicks at our high school had thrown a lasso around his neck and "jokingly" threatened to lynch him and drag him behind their truck because he was openly gay. After several years of horrific treatment and administrators and teachers doing fuckall to protect him, he ended up suing, winning, and forcing the school district to have an actual fucking policy to protect LGBTQ students.
