Student Faces Expulsion For Playing With Toy Gun In His Own Yard

A suspended seventh-grade student in Virginia Beach, Va., could be expelled for the rest of the school year for shooting an airsoft gun with a friend in his yard as they waited for the bus to come.

Khalid Caraballo, 12, and his friend, Aidan, were suspended for “possession, handling and use of a firearm” because they “shot two other friends who were with them while playing” with the airsoft guns, WAVY-TV reported.

…Caraballo answered “no, sir,” when asked if he took the toy gun to the bus stop or to school.

“We were in our yard. This had nothing to do with school,” the student said.

Caraballo’s mother, Angel, said being punished for “possession, handling and use of a firearm” was “pretty harsh” for a toy that she bought for $25.

The message is being sent:

Guns are bad. Guns are bad. Guns are always bad.
If you shoot a gun you are a criminal.
If you touch a gun you are a criminal.
If you own a gun you are a criminal.
Only the State may touch guns.

The disarming of the next generation is both mental and physical.
Our children will grow to be like passive working elephants.
They are being tied up with large chains on their ankles.
They will come to believe the chain is unbreakable.
Then as adults it will only take a small rope to restrain them.
In this way they will be passive and easily controlled.
Neither mental nor physical resistance will be in their nature.
The mental neutering of males continues unabated.

You are 100% correct. And there aren’t enough of us resisting. This country will look very different in 20 years.

The only solution is a lawsuit and a large financial penalty against the school district.

There must be consequences for those who hire these idiots and let them run amok, trashing the constitutional rights and protections of children and parents.

Not my kids.
We homeschool.
Firearm proficiency is an essential course.

Upon what do you base that conclusion? Media reports? Don't fall for the spin...Gun and ammo sales have never been higher.

When they grab the guns out of the video games and there’s little reaction, then you’ll know it’s over.

Thing is, they won't do that. They *want* them there. It further's the cause of citizens acquiring weapons so that the government can further abuse and terrorize them.

"Firearm proficiency is an essential course."

Like swimming or crossing the street, gun use and safety are essential in a free society. Home schooling is preferable in many areas.

In the other thread, the actual letter from the school states that the reason for the suspension was because the kid was assaulting other kids at the bus stop with it, NOT because of simple possession.

The kid was an idiot and thug-in-training.

We used to play with real guns, both before and after school. I guess we'd be killed by SWAT today. Chances are we would have taken a couple of them with us. We were pretty good shots and knew how to use cover. In those days squirrels and chucks weren't so nearly tame as they are now. You had to know some woodcraft.

Nowadays the only play permissible for boys is to play with themselves.
