The threat of laser guns

A kid was suspended for doodling a picture of a laser gun, and the school spokesman says that it constituted a "very real threat".  

I think I'm going to have a stroke.

Had he been an illegal immigrant or child of illegal immigrants would he have been suspended?  Political-correctness has gotten WAY out of hand, and it needs to stop.

they suspended a few elementary students a while back for playing cops and robbers onthe play ground.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

I'm waiting on the political correctness crowd to remove any mention of war from history books and skew them even further fromt eh truth than they are already

Thank god I got out of the school system just as this crap was getting into full swing.


But I think it's funny how they have begun training the kids earlier and earlier to view a gun or any representation of it as threatening.

"And after going through the paper work to get the kid suspended, the high school principle and his staff then went back to smoking the drugs they had taken off of the kids earlier in the week."

Guns only threaten the weak minded and mentally incapable. Aka, government. "Politically correct" people around here are afraid to walk down the street. As they should be for the cowards they are.

Well mcblivet, if they had a clue that folks there had the vast knowledge of ballistics and shooting that you do, the PC folks would realize they have nothing to fear at all other than pure random chance.

Can you imagine having the uptight society we have now, say, 30 years ago?  If you imitated the Three Stooges, we'd be sitting on the counselor's couch discussing the dangers of slaps and eye poking.  

All reason disappeared when the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show got yanked off the air  :D

Which ended with me warning the vice principle that if he ever went near or bothered my son again for such nonsense I was going to search HIM with all the subtlety of a jackhammer

And to think that in 1990 when I graduated from high school it was no big deal to pull into the parking lot with my Winchester 1300 pump 12 gage hanging in the gun rack in the window of my truck. Granted I was in Altus OK but still the schools today are going way overboard.

Last year I got called to my sons school because he was telling one of his friends about the BB gun I had bought him for Christmas. His teachers and the principle were trying to lecture me on the evils of guns. They were rather shocked when I told them how many guns I own and the fact that I let my children handle them whenever they want as long as they ask me first.

My kids will not grow up afraid of firearms, but they will understand the responsiblity that comes with having one.

Fixed. They would also have the vigilantes to fear as well. At least some Americans didn't lose their heads after Columbine.

Don't say that you have a story, and then not tell it.

The drawing of a weapon, of any kind, on a binder, or any piece of scholastic hardware, indicates a total and utter indifference to the attitude of weapons in the hands of minors.

This boy should be punished, to the the maximum extent.

His parents should be jailed.

His friends should be interrogated.

His teachers should be fired

The government that allowed this should be impeached.

The country that spawned him should be re-evaluated and perhaps divided amongst their leading rivals.
