Students at a high school in Nebraska will now be allowed to pose with guns in their senior portraits.

The Broken Bow School Board made the decision to allow guns in school photos this week after a student asked to be photographed with a gun last year but was denied the option, according to local outlet KOLN-TV. The school board voted 6-0 to allow the guns in photos as long as the images are tasteful, the Omaha World-Herald reported.

Broken Bow Public Schools Superintendent Mark Sievering told the Omaha World-Herald that the school was initially afraid that allowing students to pose with guns would promote violence. However, the board decided to allow it because hunting is a big part of the local community.

The board, I believe, felt they wanted to give students who are involved in those kinds of things the opportunity to take a senior picture with their hobby, with their sport, just like anybody with any other hobby or sport, Sievering said, according to the Omaha World-Herald.

Students will not be allowed to be photographed brandishing the weapon or pointing it at the camera. If students do so, the photos will not be allowed to go in the school yearbook, according to the Associated Press.

The school board president, Ken Myers, noted that a lot of students in the district are involved in activities that use firearms, reports KOLN-TV.

We have the 1 Box Shooting Club, a great trap range and sporting clays range, Myers told KOLN-TV. A lot of youth are interested in that so that brings up firearms, I guess, a little bit more to the forefront along with the hunting.

In 2004, a student tried to sue his Vermont school after they refused to allow him to pose with a gun in his yearbook photo. A federal judge rejected the teens bid.

With the exception of groups like law enforcement personnel, Nebraska , Time noted. Nebraska does not have particularly strong gun laws overall, and it received a D in a 2013 report that analyzed gun laws in each state.

*Cock's Gun* I will be back

Yeah! Was it permitted by School management members? I cannot believe it because when student had requested for the same pose as that in funny yearbook photos last year, his request was out rightly rejected.
