The alleged "threatening" material was a video of guns Nathan and his mother Justine posted before heading out to the range.

The caption on the video said, "Finna be lit."

Weld County Sheriff Steve Ream spoke to the uproar over Nathan's video, saying, "People base their apprehension on their own paradigm and their own fear of guns and gun culture. One kid is totally excited to go out and train on how to use a gun responsibly, while another kid is totally freaked out about seeing a gun."

Bearing Arms reports that Loveland High School–the school suspending Nathan–is operating in line with a program called "Safe 2 Tell." The program is designed to allow students an avenue to report possible threats.
