Anti-Gun Hysteria, when does it end!
Cut and pasted from an email I received:
In the wake of Sandy Hook, progressives have unsurprisingly placed the blamed on inanimate objects rather than on the mentally disturbed individuals who use them. As such, gun-control proposals and legislation have swept state legislatures throughout the nation, Congress and the White House. But as the gun control debate rages on, common sense seems to have been hijacked by hyper-paranoia and zero-tolerance policies in schools across the nation.
And since there seems to be a gun-hysteria story du jour, here is a compilation of 10 recent incidents that best demonstrate how far off the political correctness deep end people in this country have gone:
1. Michigan: School confiscates cupcakes decorated with Toy Soldiers A woman made a batch of cupcakes for her sons classmates. Her 9-year-old son decorated them with plastic soldier figurines. The mother was called shortly after delivering them and was told they couldnt be served because the soldiers had guns.
2. Maryland: Pop-Tart Pistol?: 7-year-old gets suspended for gun-shaped pastryThe child claims he tried to make it into the shape of a mountain but it turned out looking more like a gun. Obviously he was suspended for two days. PS- students are being offered counseling services if they were troubled by the pastry incident.
3. Colorado: Colorado boy, 7, reportedly faces suspension for tossing imaginary grenadeHe was just trying to save the world from evil forces but apparently that flies in the face of the schools no weapons, real or imaginary, policy. He doesnt understand why he was dispended, either.
4. Maryland: 6-year-old boy suspended for pointing finger like a gun got off easyJust suspension, not expulsion? The author of this article quips, Soon, six year-old children will be forced to sit indoors playing Sensitivity Training and delivering Powerpoint lectures to each other on Safety Within the Home and Workforce Best Practices.
5. Illinois: Student ordered to remove U.S. Marines T-Shirt Due to Gun Imageryor face suspensionThe 14-year-old had reportedly worn the shirt many times before without incident. The imagery in question shows two intersecting rifles below the word, MARINES.
6. Washington: Pasco school district overturns 6-year-olds suspension for discussing toy gunBut how did it come to suspension in the first place? The child was talking about the Nerf guns his family bought during a recent family vacation.
7. Michigan: LAnse Creuse High School had security scare Tuesday morningHardly. A former student who works at the Air National Guard Base, which is less than 5 miles away, entered the school looking for a letter of recommendation. Concerns were raised because he was dressed in camouflage.
8. Pennsylvania: Schools locked down over "ambiguous message" taken as threatthat ambiguous message would be a phone message that included a quote from the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air that says, And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school. Schools in the county were on lock down for 20 minutes as a result of a receptionist misunderstanding the message and calling police over the threat.
9. Arizona: Florence student suspended over picture of guna high school student was suspended because he made the desktop background on his school-issued computer a picture of a gun on top of a flag. The students reason? Hes interesting in joining the military.
10. Florida: Fla. High school student reportedly suspended after disarming gunmanthis one is by far the most disturbing. A student wrestled a loaded gun away from a 15-year-old who was allegedly pointing the firearm at another student and threatening to shoot. By any account, what this student did was heroic and rather than being praised, hes being punished.
While its perfectly understandable that schools take potential threats more seriously in the wake of Sandy Hook, its as though people have lost any and all ability to exercise sound judgment in situations involving weapons in schoolsreal, fake or imaginaryand the appropriate level of punishment.
Here in Alabama there was also a K5 student suspended for carrying her pink Hello Kitty bubble gun to school about a month ago.
The sissyfication of America is a lot easier than you ever would have imagined, isn't it? Just start with good, union school teachers. It seems they have trouble creating graduating students who can get a job, but making sissies out of normal kids...no problem!
This is more of an indication of the stupidity of the Government education system. The easiest Phd to get is one in education and many of these people who have no clue about the real world end up running our schools.
This is proof of the dumbing down process the US is going through.

So how would the US authorities feel about my Grandson aged 5 going to a party where all the boys were dressed as pirates? (Some carrying pistols!)
And with all this 'sissyification' - where are all the military of the future coming from?

Go on, I'll have to say it, can you quote your sources, please? Because that looks like a load of made up stories to me.
If they can scare kids into thinking guns are bad, in 20 years they will gladly vote to repeal the second amendment and the gun debate will be over.
What are we teaching our kids these days? When I was growing up boys played with Gijoes and little plastic army men. I did see the story on the news about the cupcakes. Are we teaching our children that there relatives who are serving our country so we can have a good life, bad guys because they are in the service. Are these children going to grow up thinking that it is a bad thing to join the service. How times change.
I have seen 8 of these stories in our local paper over the past months.

I know for a fact the Florida story is true, heard it on the local news.
Hell, look at it this way. We train hundreds of thousands of kids in military to kill, and then bitch about the gun ownership. No different than the pro-lifers, who bitch and groan about abortions but after the kid is born, no one gives a diidly crap about him or her.
