Democrat Anti-Gun Nuts Gone Totally Insane: Kid Suspended for Playing with Toy Gun
Not at school, not at the bus stop, in his own front lawn...this happened in Virginia
My four year old grandson said he wanted a gun and a fishing pole. He said the gun was for shooting birds and pointed up at geese flying over. I was both warmed, he is a real boy, and afraid for him. Being a real boy is going to be dangerous.
I hope whoever made the idiotic decision to suspend the child ends up fired. Their judgement is highly suspect. I wouldn't trust anyone with that poor of judgement, sense of balance, and prone to knee-jerk reactions in any kind of authority position.
I don’t see how the school has any business getting involved here. It didn’t happen on school property (in school, on the bus, etc.) and I think the argument “well, two of the friends were waiting for the bus” is kinda thin.
I’m not saying the kid shouldn’t be punished by his parents for jerking around. But expelled from school? Unless there is more to this story, yeesh!
What is an “air-soft” gun? Is it as powerful as a BB gun? (By “powerful” I mean only that it can hurt someone.)
Cha Ching!
When I was a kid everyone played cops-and-robbers or cowboys-and-Indians or “war”, and we didn’t turn into a bunch of maniacal killers.
That kid’s a piker. When I was in high school my friends and I built guns. My best was a fully functional Civil War cannon made out of a 3/4” pipe that used match heads as a propellant (my homemade black powder formula never worked quite well enough) and shot marbles dangerously long distances. Some of my friends were into pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails. None of us ever got arrested for all of this and mod of us have survived into early old age.
It is getting to the point where these petty zealot kings need be shown directly exactly how a gun can be dangerous. Frankly if I were this kids parents, I’d be down at that school faster then lightening and someone would either agree they went too far or their replacement would.
The kid id black and that ought to complicate things for the liberals!

Zero tolerance.
No.
Air soft are those lightweight plastic pellets.
If you have a gun phobia they might hurt...your feelings.
An “air-soft” gun is a toy gun that can fire small plastic pellets that are larger than BB’s and smaller than paintballs. They might hurt you a little if you get hit by one close up but will not penetrate skin. It’s a step up from a nerf gun.
It's like a BB gun, but it shoots plastic pellets.
I don't think it can hurt someone, except in the eyes.
Oh, they can hurt pretty bad, if you’re not careful.
But, they are an awesome non-lethal training device.
The libs really missed the boat on airsoft. They should have gotten it banned before it got popular.
All the equipment used in airsoft is easily adaptable, and the training and experience applicable, to the real thing.
Someone made this decision.
That someone has a name.
And an address.
Publish it.
And then look the other way.
Make that someone worry.
Worry a lot.
Thanks.
Okay if he had brought it to school I would understand but he was playing on his own lawn? How dafuq is that any of the school’s concern?
Sieg Heil everybody.
