A major part of "teaching" these days, is apparently teaching young, impressionable kids to be paranoid, desperately afraid, of even the sight of a gun. And if there are no guns around, be paranoid of a toy, as though there were something dangerous or wrong with it.

Or you get an F.

Oh, yeah, it was a virtual class, on Zoom. There were no other people around him, or anywhere in the room.

Still, the teacher called the cops, based on the fear that the child was in danger.

Did she ever explain what danger he was in?

Hmm... maybe the wrong person was being taught. Sounds to me like the teacher needed teaching.
Yup. The teacher is being unfairly judged. I went to buy a gun for the first time in decades and wanted a Glock 19. They were sold out, but they just got a shipment of Zombie Hunters in.

Easy mistake to make.



No wonder this generation is so messed up.

That’s smart. I’d be tempted to have photos of some large caliber automatic weapons, grenades and tanks in the background. Thankfully my daughter is grown and we don’t have to deal with these brain dead teachers.

You know, these "brain dead teachers" are following directives issued by brain dead Superintendents promulgated by brain dead school board members elected by brain dead voters.

I can almost guarantee that teacher was working under a directive to report a firearm, or replica, if seen during class, the same rules that apply when school is in person. That is one of the updated mandated reporting rules Mrs. NBP is working under.

Can I interest you in a neon pink Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm?

Possibly a pink Glock?

Maybe a pink Ruger?

Never kept count, but living in Detroit, all we heard was Detroit news most of the time.

But in 1927 38 elementary kids and six adults were killed in Bath MI when the janitor decided to blow up the school.
Don't need a gun to kill a lot of people. Don't need an AR to kill a lot if using a gun. Largest number of killings in a school were by someone using handguns.

If virtual school is going to be a thing moving forward, it has to be made clear exactly where the line gets drawn.
Do parents give up all rights to privacy when they sign up for online school?
And if so, WTH?
Wow! I agree with you. I 100% agree with you.

Only if they say “Zombie Hunter”. Interesting guns, though.

Do you think the broadcast quality was good enough to see that on the side of the toy? Or what was actually seen was a flash of a gun with little detail?
