And the crackpot constitutionalist extremists have the temerity to keep fearmongering about the government looking for ways to disarm you? Posh!
A New York father has had his firearms all but confiscated after the Suffolk County Pistol License Bureau suspended his pistol license indefinitely over a perceived threat made by his 10-year-old son and two of his classmates at school.
John Mayer, of Commack, N.Y., told TheBlaze that the incident occurred on March 1. It was like any other day, the father explained. He put his son on the bus and sent him off to school.
Later that day, Mayer got a call from school officials informing him that his 10-year-old son and two other students were talking about going to a boy’s house with a water gun, “paint gun” and a BB gun. There had reportedly been a school yard pushing incident the day before involving the boys, excluding Mayer’s son, and they were seemingly talking about getting even in some way.
Mayer told TheBlaze that a teacher overheard the students talking and immediately called police and filed a report. He said the teacher told police something to the effect of, there’s a “kid with a gun, ready to go.” [...]
School officials then “interrogated” the boys, Mayer explained. It was later determined that the 10-year-old boys did not have access to a BB gun, paintball gun or any actual firearms.
The school’s principal later informed the father that his son would be suspended for two days for the incident. But the ordeal was far from over.
Mayer said police officers were then deployed to his home where he was advised by officers that they might have to confiscate his firearms, which he says were all properly stored and secured. “I just couldn’t believe what was happening,”(continued)

Welcome to the USSA, comrades.
People that send their kids to public schools in all but the most fearsomely conservative/liberty minded areas are idiots...
If a cop shows up at my house without something signed by a Judge or Magistrate and starts talking about taking my guns, well, let’s just say you’ll probably read about me in the papers.
“You know officer, there’s something wrong with my gun. Too many bullets” - (From: The Last Boy Scout)
Problem is people can’t afford private school or homeschooling because they are required to pay their taxes for the liberal public schools
“If a cop shows up at my house without something signed by a Judge or Magistrate and starts talking about taking my guns, well, let’s just say you’ll probably read about me in the papers.”
We are quickly approaching a time when regardless of who ordered it my actions might be reported in the papers.
What part of NY is Suffolk County?
Long Island, IIRC.
Wow.
Here we have kids being kids.
Teachers, still freshly paranoid from Newtown, as well as their inbred liberal inclination, hear one of them say “gun.” They hear nothing else.
Teacher thinks, “If I do nothing, then I am responsible if something happens.”
Teacher calls cops (or tells administration and administration calls cops).
Everyone freaks.
The “process” takes over.
Dad loses right to bear arms.
Cops look like thugs because they are required to take steps or they will lose their jobs and pension.
Teacher feels like crap (maybe) because he/she now realizes he/she overreacted.
Kid wonders why he/she was suspended.
...
We are one f’ed up nation right now.
Father and family moves to Plano, Texas. Everyone happy again.
There are laws against anyone possessing a firearm after being accused (not convicted) of domestic violence with years of federal imprisonment for being found in possession. There are efforts to make similar laws regarding mental issues. Those are stepping stones to what you see in the article above and to disarming everyone.
A narrow interest political movement used successfully used that tactic and the tactic of evoking public emotional responses with publicized stories of victims, one at a time. That narrow interest movement is feminism.
Remember the Million Mom March? Take the warning, or not. You’re seeing our Second Amendment right being violated one subgroup at a time and helping the opposition to accomplish that.
The eastern end of Long Island, between two and three hours away from NYC - many NYPD & FDNY live out there.
Every one of these stories includes how the firearms are all locked up a safe.
Firearms are pretty useless for home defense locked up in a safe.
Too close to NYC to escape the infection.
Haha. GREAT ending.
I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Texas a number of times in the last decade: Austin (I know, I know), Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Grapevine, Plano...
If it wasn’t so hot (except for Plano last month), or so flat, I could see myself, and more importantly, my wife and I, living there.
God bless you brother...
Thoughtful though to have them all in one place when the po-lice come to confiscate.
Where the only right is the absolute right of a woman to murder her unborn children. All others are “rights” are at the pleasure of fedgod.
