Hmm. We should probably just send him to the barber in Sandy Hook right now and spare ourselves the agony... :rolleyes:

Doesn't surprise me. MD is the ultimate nanny state.

Do these morons understand the damage their doing to that poor kid??? This burns me up...kinda like this:steamed:

sigh

Myself, I was a two handed shooter and used to carefully, cooly blow the smoke off the tip of each muzzle after blasting a few bad guys... or good guys. Never needed to reload either, these babies I packed were bad I tell you. :cool:

Sometimes a sixgun, sometimes a tommygun.

Much to my Moms chagrin (she wanted me to be a piano player), I suppose thats my problem today and why I can be found hanging out here at Eric's place... Best place to play cowboys and injuns or krauts and japs in the world. Like school used to be. (no offense meant to either cowboys and injuns, krauts or japs, its just the was we wuz back in the day, we killed them all. sorry Mom, I did sorta learn to pick and sorta off beat strum a gee-tar)

Back to the malcontent in Silver Springs...
I bet it goes on his "PERMANENT RECORD". That'll teach him.

The kid should have just used his finger to make a slashing gesture across his throat.

Soon gun, firearm, rifle, etc will be the next words added to the profanity list that you cant say or you get sent home/suspended :upeyes:

I remember the good old says when only one hand gesture would get you in trouble.

[deputy tom]

I hope the family gets a huge settlement and put it away for the kid's college fund. tom.

[jay-bird]

It's not polite to point.

[rednoved]

That's depressing.

[cowboywannabe]

That's depressing.

That's Maryland.

[Mrs. VR]

worse than just Maryland, it's MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND. :sigh:

My brother had to go in and talk to his sons teacher when he was in preschool. He was using a plastic golf club as a shotgun and a plastic shovel as a hologen tool to breach doors in his classroom lol.
I'm a swat officer and me and my bros best friend adam is a navy seal. Adam and I were visiting my bro and had his boy doin entry's with us lol.

I hope it's a trend. The more America sees what idiocy radical leftists are capable of the better.

[NDCent]

Coming to a city near you.

Its a good thing he didn't show her the middle finger or they'd be charging him with rape.

"worse than just Maryland, it's MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND."

No kidding, it wasn't always that bad though. I did 7th-12th grade in Montgomery County, but it was back in the days when there were still large farms between Rockville and Gaithersburg. Even before they tore down the center of Rockville and built a mall that failed miserably.

And there was a Par 3 golf course where White Flint mall was built. My father managed a place across the street. Very convenient.

According to CNN, he had a round in the imaginary chamber, with a high cap palm clip...

This crap has gone far enough. We've got to do something to limit the number of fingers those kids can carry to school.

I brought a toy gun for show and tell back in Kindergarten back in 1988 when I was his age. So did some of my friends. Times have really changed.

I brought an M16 for an elementary school play but that was in the late 70ties, can't even remember my part in it or if I got to shoot someone?

When Orange County California still had orange groves, I carried a bow and arrows to school and shot them on school grounds. My first real bow was a loaner from a school teacher. No one shot anyone, dodge ball was OK, 4 square was a combative game, and we played hardball (various baseball games with hardballs and bats) at lunch and recess.

Later, in a Texas high school, it was not unusual to see gun racks and guns in the parking lot. Many of my friends carried lock-blade Buck knives to class.

When in elementary school my son had to go to the office for playing catch, with a friend, with a rock .... balls were not allowed. The rock was more like a pebble, less than 1/2" in diameter.

The only school mate deaths, I remember, were those of a water skier (impaled by a stick when he wiped-out) and a drunk driver doing stupid stuff after a football game.

They said his gesture looked like a Glock.
