Political statement? Thinking that children who play with toy guns "are making a political statement" is about as idiotic as suspending them from school for doing so...

Irrational fear? We've got thousands upon thousands of deaths & injuries from firearms every single year in this stupid country and there are people turning a blind eye & pretending it's not a problem, not even worth thinking about. That's what I call irrational, people who are too stupid to know when there's a problem because "I gotta keep my guns!!!!" Give me an effin' break. I'm actually embarrassed by the idiocies of people in this country.

What statement are they making then by suspending a 5 year old for having a toy gun, or another child for throwing an imaginary grenade?

That's a valid fear, but it's starting to become completely ridiculous when you fear poptarts, toy guns, imaginary guns, and a child who holds a pencil like a gun. That's my point.

So you managed to find the five most ridiculous examples of what you claim is irrational liberal gun control attempts, and you hold those up as representative of what is actually happening.

Statement? I guess the think they are making a statement about non-violence in schools. I agree with you-- It's asinine. Doesn't change my larger argument about the gun culture in this country.

Harrier is likewise embarrassed by the idiocies of the anti-constitution, gun grabbing liberals who support the suspension of a young boy because an irrational teacher thought that his Pop Tart looked like a gun.

This is what's actually happening. Cases like this have started pop up more so within the last couple of years. I can post more cases, but these are the cases that I knew of. Saying that this is not what's going on because I posted 5 example, is just as silly as saying that mass shootings aren't an issue because we can only post 5 recent examples.

Harrier notes that you admit to being a gun grabber and are against the U.S. constituton.

How exactly will grabbing guns solve the problem?
