Yeah that is ridiculous! He is 9! and the gun was only 2 inches! - what kind of idiot would think a 2 inch lego gun was real. Some people take things too far.
Lego. :question: Lego. A two-inch lego gun. Good grief. I think they should be more concerned about what those people must be smoking!

This is almost as bad as the kid about 15 or so years ago who was pulled out of school and heavily psychoanalyzed because he pointed a chicken nugget at someone and said, "Bang." It's ridiculous, and it's not really helping the situation with school violence at all.

One of the neighbours saw me with this submachine pistol and called the cops who asked her if she knew the young person's name. When she told them my name, they said "Oh that's Tommy's son. Not a danger." :teddyr:
