| Too soon old, Too late smart |
Reminds me of the elementary school kid who chewed his pop tart into something that resembled a gun. Seems to me he was suspended but not sure. _______________________________________ NRA Life Member Member Isaac Walton League I wouldn't let anyone do to me what I've done to myself | |||

I say they tell them to go fuck themselves and let their normal little boy grow up to be a normal masculine man that likes guns and cars and motorcycles and shit like that, oh and he likes women too - instead of being some metro-femme boy. Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless. | |||

Sensationalism sells across the board. It's the cheap menu, true fast food journalism. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Sure they do. Ask anybody in Washington DC, where illegal possession of any kind of an empty shell case is criminal. tac | |||

When I was in Fifth Grade, my class put on a play as part of a program which would be viewed in the auditorium by the entire school and which called for a firearm as a prop. I suppose the school could have invested a 1.39 in a pop gun from the local toy store. Instead, a girl in the class brought her father's Remington 1100. The bolt hadn't been removed or the firearm disabled in any way, it appeared. The shotgun sat in a back corner of the classroom until the time of the play. Afterwards, the shotgun once again sat undisturbed in the back of the classroom. At the end of the day, we walked out of school which faced a highway. Consequently, there was a crossing guard. As we all walked past the guard to cross, the girl carried the shotgun. When the crossing guard saw her, he feigned surprise and threw his hands up. "Whoah there, little lady!" She was a bit past him when he saw her, so she swung around to point it at him and then continued in a 360 degree turn until she had swept every living thing within range with the muzzle of that scattergun. The guard laughed, she laughed, the teachers who were there laughed, and all the kids around laughed. It didn't make the news, SWAT was not called, no lockdown of the school took place and there were no parent/teacher conferences or sessions with therapists for the kids. | |||

Similar experience in Junior High. Pretty much all our Dads served in World War II, and were proud to display the artillery shell casings, rifles, rising sun flags, and samurai swords. I remember reading that at the end of World War II there were more German Lugers and samurai swords in the United States than in Germany or Japan. I still have my father's German Luger. | |||

When we recently toured the nearby public school for Kindergarten, I asked the principal if our son doing this will be a problem as he fashions every toy he sees into a gun without ever seeing any of mine or seeing any gun related shows. Luckily, it seemed like such a thing would not be a problem. | |||

There just seems to be a lapse of common sense these days in the school system. We had a shop teacher, in the 90s, that would come outside to the parking lot to check out new rifles/shotguns that my classmates had in the gun rack in the back of their pickup window. No big deal. That seemed very normal to me. Now, in the same school, a kid would get into trouble for bringing in an obvious squirt gun. I really hate to see how a good portion of people view guns these days. | |||

Now up to this point, I'm still on Hunter's side. This is clearly something normal that boys will do, even if it is "against policies" most of these schools have. But then.....
They are also kind enough to show the letter sent home with Mom. The letter itself references this past troubling behavior, and mentions that parents have had "informal conferences" with BOTH PARENTS in the past as a result of the behavior. I guess mom forgot to mention that part of the letter she was given in her initial rant. I have a boy in kindergarten. He likes guns and on occasion incorporates pretend guns into his play. Many of the boys in his class liked to play "zombies" at recess (think Walking Dead), and the school applied a little bit of brake to get them interested in a different game. Luckily I'm in a rural area, and the school doesn't entirely flip out over guns. But what they were doing was inappropriate in that setting, they were asked to follow directions, and they did. | |||
