We have indeed become a nation of idiots. When I was a kid we ALL used to run around with rubber band guns, and they look nothing like a real firearm. Only a complete fool would think so and a cop who would arrest a young child for this is beyond stupid.

What's of greater concern is that a cop might shoot the kid out of a mistaken belief the kid was pointing a real gun at him.

Yep. If the lady 'victim' and Randy the Cop are in the majority in this country, we really do need Hillary elected to take care of us. Unbelievable!

Rubber band guns is mild to what i used to do at that age. Fill up an empty CO2 cartridge with match heads and shoot it out of a piece of water-pipe. Nobody thought nothing of it unless it went through someones window...LOL

Or an anti-gun zealot would claim so.

You’re right. This is totally stupid.

It is now a felony to scare someone? Why aren’t Hillary, Nancy and Rosie behind bars? They’re the scariest things I’ve seen in a long long time.

Idiots or sheep cowering before any and all authority?

When we were that age we were constantly playing war. In the winter, it was either the Battle of the Bulge or the Marine retreat from Chosin Reservoir, summer brought on our reenactments of jungle warfare against the Japanese. We carried replica German Lugers, old drill muskets (wooden barrels painted black) and real BB guns. We were all over the place, woods, fields, swamps and everybody's back yard.

Nobody ever said a word against us.
