The expressions on the faces of the men sitting around Biden are priceless!
Wasn’t that story of the kid and the make-believe grenade made up by his Mom?
I could be thinking about another article, but don’t remember.
I’d still be in first grade if today’s teachers had caught us playing “army” as kids. And the Mattel ‘tommy gun’ would have had them apoplectic (not to mention the toy (cap firing) grenades.
Update on the story of Alex:
“Alex, the local student who was suspended for throwing an imaginary grenade, has been executed by a School Board firing squad using assault rifles.
A little harsh, you say? No. Testimony from school Principal Valerie Lara-Black showed that she had determine that Alex had again broken school policies by thinking of a picture of an assault rifle.
Following this damning testimony, Alex was immediately taken behind the School Board building and executed by a 15-member board composed of local leaders. Parents of children at the school applauded the action.
No memorial service will be held for Alex since the school does not believe in such nonsense. Instead, his body will be dissolved in sulfuric acid and disposed of in a hazardous waste site.
His parents could not be reached for comments. They have mysteriously disappeared, along with his younger sister. The family dog has been shot for barking at a police cruiser that drove past the family house while it was being demolished by city crews.”
I’m not sure this is stupidity on their part. I think it’s very calculated conditioning of young minds, kind of like aversion therapy. Making punishment swift, absolute and merciless for any thought, mention, suggestion, representation of mimicking of any real or play weapon may serve to make these kids grow up with an automatic trigger that unleashes massive negative responses to the idea of a weapon. Kind of like the “Catholic guilt” that nonbelievers love to lampoon.
Mental gun control, and our kids are the lab rats.
That has been my tagline for a few weeks now. Taking self defense advice from Slow Joe, is akin to taking financial advice from a bank robber.
The reality is - and you can go to ANY Cowboy Action Shooting meet to see how true this is -- that very small, petite women are VERY capable of handling 12 gauge shotguns, thank you very much, let alone the average-sized gals on this video. The ONLY reason these girls were knocked on their asses or dropped the guns was because someone was willfully, and arguably criminally, negligent in giving them proper instruction.
The boys involved -- and that's all they were -- I hope end up having their asses kicked by the big brothers or fathers of the silly gullible gals involved, or better yet by their own fathers, for putting the girls and every bystander present in serious danger. In one shot, the gal could very well have gotten her head blown off, if it had been a hammerless side-by-side dropped in that matter after only one round was discharged. This video is DISGUSTING.
I love AR 15s, I think everyone should have the right to own one, and I know by personal experience how much gentler they are to shoot than 12 gauge shotguns. I also know that they're a HELL of a lot harder to come by and a HELL of a lot more expensive -- try $1500 to $4000 as opposed to $350 for a shotgun. Furthermore, as a regular shooter of pistols, rifles, and shotguns at multiple targets, I know how shockingly easy it is to miss with a pistol a bigger, closer target than what is easy to hit with a shotgun.
In other words, for women who can't get ARs, the shotgun is the next best thing for home defense -- specifically, shooting probably in the dark at an intruder INSIDE the home. This video does a disservice on so many levels -- spreading the LIE, the MYTH, that petite women can't handle shotguns, and worse, the shameful exhibit of blatant stupidity on the part of the gun owners (they certaintly weren't real men) involved.
