A tiny piece of plastic the size of a toothpick is now...considered a threat

[I am me, I am free]

Little boy is banned from school because he attached plastic toy soldiers (holding guns!) to his hat to show his support of the troops, and the school has banned ANY 'display' of 'guns'.

This is clearly a trend to demonize guns in the eyes of children at school, but nevermind the video games and what passes for 'entertainment' from Hollyweird.

I'm sure he's in trouble because he failed to "register" his gun. Had he purchased the proper permits and filed the right forms, his toy display would have been ok.

You made an interesting point, I am me, I am free. This is a question for those who think that the powers that be are all of a certain tribe: Why the concurrent opposing viewpoints of demonizing guns yet the glorification of guns through video games and movies?

When I was about eight and very little this big 12 years old came at me and I put a pencil into his hand from one side to the other.........a weapons is what you make it be and not what is.

i think, and this is only opinion, that hollywoods part is to use thier influence to DEGRADE western society vis a vie sex and violence, and the legislative arm tries to stifle ANY resistance to the power elite, hense the gun law.

Because it's a Death Cult, authorized killing good, unauthorized killing bad. The kicker is who does the authorizing?

This attitude has been going on for a long time in grade school mid 80's I brought a die cast 3" muskett for show n tell. I got an earfull. No suspension though. And NO DAMN TV CAMERAS!
The current reaction seems to keep the fear of guns and school violence in the forefront.

If the parents would stand up to the school board they elect, this shit would stop.

But school officials said the hat ran afoul of their no-weapons policy because the Army men held tiny guns

Perhaps plans are when the matrix is developed far enough they can just ban talk of war and conflict from the history books. And they could ban the use of words like gun from school grounds and any school work. Next if your parents use the wrong words at home they should be reported on.
