I have nothing but contempt for the idiot who destroyed a piece of family history, which probably saved his grandfather's life in combat, without which, he wouldn't be here to do his dastardly deed. As to the "artist," I wonder how he gets away with taking guns onto school grounds, whether or not his intent is to melt them (note California and Federal laws regarding guns on school grounds). He, and the school administrators who allow that, should be arrested, in conformance with their "no tolerance" policies (note the comments in the film that he does this at schools).
