  SMH. 6 year old kid gets in trouble for having a gun clearly made for an action figure. Oh the threat! This is serious business!

  Also in January, a 5-year-old girl was suspended for ten days and reportedly labeled a “terrorist threat” for threatening to shoot her friend with a toy bubble gun

  Now THAT'S fucking ridiculous....

  So I guess GI Joe and toy soldiers are now off-limits at school? No more Cowboys & Indians at recess?

  That's been gone for awhile. I think there was a thread here about it.

  This kid is clearly a thread to society and should be put on medication. If the parents resist he should be taken from them.

  liberal brainwashing at its finest. Get young kids in the mindset that any gun, no matter if it's a small GI Joe toy, is bad. Fucking liberal idiocy.

  Now you're making it political. But it's an interesting question - is all this REALLY driven by the utterly stupid idea that mass shootings are at all the result of playing with toy guns growing up? What happens, almost without fail, when you tell kids "no" and make things off-limits?
  
  So while we do have some incredibly stupid people making horrible ignorant policies, I might tend to agree with you that this is more about reversing America's "gun culture".

  I came in here expecting to see a picture of those brightly colored guns clearly designed for children. Seriously why make a gun that looks more like a toy than a deadly weapon?, but thats a whole different subject.

  Zero tolerance is zero tolerance.
  
  Kid should be in jail until he's 18.
