Gun Control Insanity

[CAPTJJ]

In January, a 5-year-old girl was suspended from Mount Carmel Area Elementary School in central Pennsylvania for allegedly speaking about shooting herself and another girl.

It turned out she was talking about her bright pink “Hello Kitty” gun, which shoots bubbles.

Her mother said the girl and two friends had been “pretending to be kitty cats” and talking about butterflies and ladybugs when the bubbles and the bubble gun came up.

The 5-year-old was questioned by three staff members and written up for making a “terroristic threat,” said Kelly Guarna, the girl’s mother.

Finger guns are apparently deadly, too.

Zero tolerance policies are great when it comes to lawyers, since there is no gray area.  But common sense is not black and white - it needs a lot of gray.

‘Fresh Prince Of Bel Air’ Theme Song Gets Pennsylvania Teen Arrested

This may qualify as the most ridiculous law enforcement over-reaction in a long time:
AMBRIDGE (KDKA) — Schools were locked down in Ambridge, after a perceived threat on a cell phone message.
Ambridge police say 19-year-old Travis Clawson had an eye appointment scheduled for today. When the receptionist called to confirm, she thought Clawson’s voice message said something to the effect of “I can’t come to the phone right now, because I’m going to kill all the (expletive) at my school.”
According to the Times-Online, the message was actually him singing part of the theme song to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air TV sitcom, “shooting some b-ball outside of the school.”
The paper says it’s not clear from listening to Travis Clawson’s phone message whether he inadvertently twisted the words or it just was misheard by the receptionist from his Sewickley eye doctor’s office who sent the day’s events in motion.
The Times-Online says that receptionist called Sewickley police, who then contacted Ambridge school officials. When Ambridge passed the information along to local police, a countywide schools lockdown was ordered because no one knew where Clawson was, and the 911 response system is designed to notify all schools of a situation.
They surrounded the school, and arrested Clawson.His locker was searched, but police say they didn’t find anything.
He has been taken to Ambridge Police for questioning but the newspaper reports he will not face any charges.

And it just gets worse...a 16 yo wrestles a gun away from another potential shooter...and gets suspended for his "action" because he was "involved in a gun incident"...  This crazy $#@! has to stop somewhere; it's so out of control right now, it reminds me of lemmings running to the proverbial cliff....
