The leftist agenda in this area is to destroy the “gun culture” in America.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

No! no!

The leftist agenda is to emasculate little boys and turn them into confused, effete, and ineffectual Peter Pans, and to train the little girls to have contempt for them.

Collectivist government schooling is child abuse, especially for boys. These indoctrination camps are filled to the brim with Teacher Ratcheds who eat the balls of little boys for lunch.

This intolerance to guns is merely one part of much larger plan.

It is hard to believe that grown adults can do this crap with a straight face.

On the other hand, most are products of the same type of “education”.

If Hammonton Police really think a Nerf Gun is “an imitation firearm”, then the town is in grave danger.

Notice how the charges are ridiculously inflated for anything related to “gun” or “picture of gun” or “toy gun” or anything that projects an object.

These gooks have nothing better to do than traumatize a seven year old boy with a toy? Oh, America, how I miss you!

Zero tolerance policies are moronic and should be banned.

Hey, at least the kid didn't point his finger and yell "bang, you're dead!"

However, if you sneak into American and steal somebody’s identity, it’s no big deal.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you sneak into the White House with a stolen social security number, fake identity, and forged birth documents, it’s no big deal. The Democrats will defend your right to do it.

LOLOL!

LandoftheFreeandtheHomeoftheBrave.

Bureaucrats and Cops. Profiles in stupidity. Yes, stupidity, even the cops could’ve exercised some common sense. But that’s wishful thinking today.

Children criminalised.

On the bright side, hopefully another lover of sanity has been created, but then again, who knows.

Viva Nannyism!

“Hammonton Police began an investigation into the “suspicious activity” at the Hammonton Early Childhood Education Center Jan. 18 after school officials alerted them to the incident.”

Let the witch hunt begin!

Next thing you know the schools will have boys arrested for being rapists because they have the equipment to do such with even though they haven’t committed any crime! It may sound absurd but just watch.

25 years ago we had a Swiss boy stay with us for the summer, he was 12. My boys were always hunting and at 12 and 14 had guns and went rabbit hunting most every night. They taught the Swiss kid to shoot not thinking anything of it.

He came to visit for the first time a few months ago and the thing he remembers most is the shooting and how he tells all his friends in France and Switzerland all about it and they just can’t believe it.

“Zero tolerance” started out sounding tough and no-nonsense. Now it’s just nonsense. Jeez...

What ever happened to the teacher saying “I’ll take that and you can have it when you go home today”???

It went out the door hand in hand with common sense.

At work so can't read the whole story but I wonder if they cuffed the 7 year old and took him away in a police car.

This makes me sick.

A school in Oklahoma has this beat, as they suspended a 1st Grader for pretending his hand was a gun...

No joke...
