And so it continues!


5 Year Old Boy Interrogated Over Cap Gun Until He Pees His Pants, Suspended For 10 Days

The herd mentality! Pretty much says it all.

And also in the news:


A ten-year-old boy was suspended for waving around a pizza slice that he thought had a gun shape.
An entire community was put into lock down, because a teen had a rap on his phone that included the lyrics ““Chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’ all cool, And all shootin’ some b-ball outside of the school” (from the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire.”
A school threatened to arrest a high school student and questioned his mental health because he had a picture of an Air Soft gun on his phone.
A five-year-old was subjected to a full body search, threatened with arrest, yelled at, and suspended for ten days . . . because she told a friend about the “Hello Kitty” bubble-gun she had at home.
A six-year-old girl was kicked off of campus for the rest of the school year because she brought a broken Air Soft gun to school for show-and-tell.
When a fifth-grade girl brought a paper gun to school that her grandfather had made, the teacher confiscated it, searched her, and yelled at her in front of her classmates.
A seven-year-old was suspended from school for throwing an imaginary grenade at a box.
A middle school girl with braces on her teeth was suspended for bringing a butter knife to school so that she cut fruit in bite-sized pieces.
A five-year-old boy was kicked out of school for building a gun out of Lego bricks.
A parent had his real (licensed) guns confiscated because his son threatened to get a friend with a water gun.
A school suspended and had arrested a middle school student who wore an NRA t-shirt showing a classic rifle, along with the slogan “Protect Your Rights.”
A seven-year-old boy, whose father served in the Marines, was kicked out of school for holding a pencil like a gun as he pretended to be his father.
A kindergartener was put in detention for building a Lego gun the size of a quarter’s diameter.
The lunatics truly have taken over the asylum, and they’re holding our children hostage.

GUN CONFISCATION In NEW YORK STATE


And for those that argue...."they aren't going to take your guns away"

New York tells legal gun owner to hand over weapons

On Fox news, and yes, there is an ad, but I just turned the sound off for it.
---------------------------------------------
Despite promises from the president and a host of other politicians who are pushing for more gun control that nobody is coming for your guns, the confiscation of guns and gun permits has apparently started in some form in New York State. One attorney representing several people who have been forced to surrender their guns spoke with TheBlaze and alerted us to some disturbing facts:
  • Gun owners are losing their 2nd Amendment rights without due process.
  • HIPAA Laws are likely being compromised and the 4th and 5th Amendments are being violated in some of these cases
How did confiscation start happening so quickly? Apparently the gun grabbing was triggered by something inside the NY SAFE Act — New York’s new gun law — that has a provision apparently mandating confiscation of weapons and permits if someone has been prescribed psychotropic drugs.
---------------------------------
To the letter of the law, this would include the anaesthetics I was given prior to my recent appendectomy.
One more reason not to pass knee-jerk, feel-good laws, that accomplish little if anything they were intended to do, and create a costly, legal nightmare. The state is currently involved in a lawsuit. The beginning of a police state starts with laws like this. 
-------------------------------------
New York is a "may-issue" state, in that the individual licensing official (typically a local police chief or sheriff) has discretion to issue a license or permit to possess handguns.

The varied New York licensing and permit authorities has resulted in confusing handgun licensing policies, which a licensee must nevertheless abide by when outside the jurisdiction of permit issuing authority. For example, regardless of license, all New York residents with a concealed carry permit must still obtain a New York State Pistol License, apply for a purchase document for each handgun purchased, and may possess only those handguns the license holder has registered with the state.[5][6]
Of all the states that issue carry pistol licenses, New York State has arguably the strictest handgun licensing policies in the nation.[9] New York City, which is effectively a "no-issue" jurisdiction for carry pistol licenses,[10] has even stricter laws, including those regulating handguns exclusively kept at home, thereby making it difficult to virtually impossible for ordinary citizens to obtain, possess, or carry firearms lawfully within New York City.[11]
The constitutionality of many of New York's restrictive firearms laws, including the newly-enacted SAFE Act, are being challenged by lawsuits at the state and federal levels.
