Texas could become the second state after Florida to pass a so-called Pop-Tart gun law. Legislators in several states were inspired by a seven-year-old Baltimore boy who was kicked out of school for two days in 2013 after chewing his toaster pastry into t
So take your pick for a title, Boy threatens student with magic, or the One Ring terrorizes school administration.
A Kermit parent said his fourth-grade student was suspended Friday for allegedly making a terroristic threat.
His father, Jason Steward, said the family had been to see �The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies� last weekend. His son brought a ring to his class at Kermit Elementary School and told another boy his magic ring could make the boy disappear.
Steward said the principal said threats to another child�s safety would not be tolerated � whether magical or not. Principal Roxanne Greer declined to comment on the matter.
�All student stuff is confidential,� Greer said. She referred a call from the Odessa American to Kermit ISD Superintendent Bill Boyd, who did not return a phone call.
�I assure you my son lacks the magical powers necessary to threaten his friend�s existence,� the boy's father later wrote in an email. "If he did, I'm sure he'd bring him right back."
I love how shit lords get to hide behind either we can't comment on a pending case, or all information about X is protected by privacy laws when someone steps in it.
"bootlegga" said Sure it's stupid, but then so are most of the pro-gun arguments out there.
I'd like you to inform me of a pro gun argument that has been used in an official capacity by professional group, similar in seriousness as a school principal (so likely at the level of masters degree) that is as stupid as saying that a 9 year old boy using the One Ring to make his friend vanish is a threat to another child's safety and can not be tolerated.
I'll wait.
As Eisenhower said, the middle of the road is the only usable surface and the extremes are gutters.
Could you explain the middle of the road given that you seem to be suggesting that the gun protection side, which is suggesting laws that would make it not acceptable or legal to remove a student from school for eating a pastry into a sort of gun shape, is the ditch or gutter?
These radical NRA nut job types are just trying to protect a 5 year old girl's right to keep and bare a Hello Kitty bubble gun. That a 5 year old armed with a weapon of such bubbly firepower does not need a psychologist to examine her to determine if she has the mental state required to wield a weapon of such power.
Those bible clutching gun nuts that want a student to be able, without a background check I might add, set the wallpaper of his laptop to an image of a rifle.

You are trying to come across as a reasonable sounding person but the actual stance you are taking is that the middle of the road is somewhere between a law that stops schools from expelling students from bringing Lego guns to school under their weapons clauses and the common practice of doing just that.
No.
That's not the sane middle ground. The Pop-Tart law should be considered the right gutter of the road and some libertarian delusion of having 6 year olds have legal duels in the school grounds is the left. The current school insanity is more like driving 10m off the road cross country to keep with your road analogy.

That's funny, cause I was just reading one about Justin Trudeau and the writer writes -
"So he tried to straddle the fence and fell off on both sides. That�s gotta hurt."

You might want to re-read that quote - it's the only usable surface - Eisenhower didn't tell anyone to stand there.
I don't know about you, but if I'm travelling, I prefer the middle of the road to te gutter, but maybe that's just me...
I'll wait.
I think what Eisenhower said was fairly obvious and I'm not going to repeat my stance on gun laws over and over.
But if you really want to, feel free to keep holding your breath until I get back to you...
