Today my family and I had need of entering a federal building. In the process of doing so we encountered the following crazy federal hangups.
1) one family member had a pair of child's sissors they forgot about. these had to be removed and kept up front before we were allowed entrance to the building. now bear in mind thousands of kids take the very same kind of sissors to the gun free zones known as schools every day without a care. in fact, the schools often supply the "deadly" weapons.
2) another family member had left their driver's license at home. when asked to produce an id they did have a state sanctioned and approved ID but this wasn't going to be good enough for the "security" officers manning the check point.
a supervisor had to be called over to give the approval for the ID.
now if we had wanted to vote we could have just showed up with nothing in hand and been allowed to vote in the minds of libs.
oh, and the reason we had need of entering a federal building??
to witness a friend complete the legal naturalization process to become a U.S. citizen. and their first introduction to America...the red tape of the federal bureaucracy.
How many people have been seriously harmed by nail clippers?
If you have a bullet (empty shell) key chain, no entry.
My Navy Seal pen gets in.
I lost my John Wayne can opener on my key chain.
The older one needs to check her bed for pins/needles every night, just sayin’.....
Considering that her hair was already a foot long, it took perhaps two years for the multi level tail to be evened out.
There must be some kind of rule that all kids give themselves a hair cut, at least once...
No kidding. The youngest had a head full of red curls. And the memory of an elephant.
Why are you carrying scissors around? You think you’re some kind of Rambo or something?
I’m not sure what he older one did to the younger one, but the younger one sure got chewed out for her retaliation efforts...
Well that WAS mean.
All I know is that if you ban children’s scissors, only criminals will have children’s scissors.
I tell you what folks, as strange as this seems, there are some real nutbaggers out there these days.
Even children’s scissors could be used to stab someone seriously if a crazy wanted to.
Our elected and appointed representatives in the three constitutional branches, and their sycophantic bureaucrats, are afraid and hate We The People (aka the government).
No one needs assault scissors?
Tell that to Congress. They protect late term abortionists.
What about my ball point pen made from a .30-06 bullet? Think it would get through?
Tell us about it. . . They work for our government and in our public schools!
Well at least you were all safe and it was only amongst the family. When a similar thing happened with my two oldest, they claimed that a gorilla had broken in and did it and they just couldn’t stop him.
I was on Amazon once buying some stuff and threw a “Big Bullet” lighter in the basket.
Weeks later I got a call from the post office saying I had to come down and sign for it. Came from China, mailed by some little shop owner there. Package had been rifled, etc.
It was a lighter that was as big as a 45-70 cartridge.
I love the bolt action on it.
I had one of those when I was 6 or 7. I hadn’t thought of it in many years until I saw that picture.
Absolutely dangerous. Not as dangerous as maybe a set of car keys or a ball point pen, but waaaaay too dangerous to be allowed just anywhere.
Had mine confiscated by the Rochester airport when I was a kid. Guess they thought I meant to break into the cockpit and stab the pilot with up sharpened scissors, or something.
