schoolkids-could-backfire-says-expert/

Little boys around the nation keep getting in trouble for guns � whether
they�re made of plastic, formed by fingers or even fashioned from Pop-
Tarts � but some experts say having �zero tolerance� for games children
have played for centuries is turning the adults into bullies and
backfiring on kids.

Elementary educators trying to discourage children from settling pretend
beefs with pretend guns is nothing new. But in the aftermath of the
Connecticut school shooting, and with the grownups increasingly polarized
over the Second Amendment, rules for recess, on the bus and in the
classroom have become stricter than ever.

Some say too strict.

�These zero-tolerance policies are psychotic, in the strict sense of the
word: psychotic means �out of touch with reality,�� Dr. Leonard Sax, a
Pennsylvania psychologist and family physician, and author of �Boys
Adrift,� told FoxNews.com.

In recent months, there have been several examples of children being
disciplined for what was once seen as innocent role play.

A group of students was suspended this month from a Washington state
elementary school for using Nerf dart guns as part of a math lesson,
despite having permission from their teacher.

In March, second-grader Josh Welch was suspended from a Maryland
elementary school after unknowingly biting a Pop-Tart into the shape of a
gun.

"I just kept on biting it and biting it and tore off the top of it, and it
kind of looked like a gun," Welch told a local Fox affiliate.

Last month, also in Maryland, a 5-year-old boy who brought an orange-
tipped cap gun onto his Calvert County school bus was suspended for 10
days, according to his family and a lawyer. The child was grilled for more
than two hours by a school principal and wet himself, according to his
family.

Girls have been swept up in the phenomenon as well. In January, a fifth-
grade student in Philadelphia broke down in tears after being scolded in
front of her classmates for accidentally bringing to school a piece of
paper that was folded into the shape of a gun and given to her by her
grandfather. And a 6-year-old South Carolina girl was expelled after
bringing a toy gun to school.

Sax said he worries about the long-term effect, particularly on boys, of
being told the games they play make them bad.

�Out-of-touch policies such as these, which criminalize behaviors which
have always been common among young kids, are contributing to the growing
proportion of American kids, especially boys, who regard school as a
stupid waste of time and who can�t wait to get out of school so that they
can get back to playing their video games,� Sax said.

Dr. Dan Kindlon, a child psychology professor at Harvard University who
specializes in behavioral problems of children and adolescents, said
school administrators have a strong basis for delivering the anti-gun
message to kids.

�It would seem to be an overreaction to discipline a 6-year-old for
pretending his finger is a gun barrel, but I am sure that the specter of
Sandy Hook, Columbine, et cetera, haunts the dreams of many school
administrators,� said Kindlon.

Sax doesn�t disagree, but said those school administrators should get
their point across in a less heavy-handed way.

�There are more effective ways to encourage good behavior and to
discourage criminal behavior, without disengaging boys from school
altogether,� Sax said.

A Hayward, Calif., elementary school is planning a toy gun exchange for
later this month, modeled after the exchanges law enforcement authorities
hold to collect real guns. Kids who hand in the play weapons will get a
book and a raffle ticket for a bicycle. Strobridge Elementary Principal
Charles Hill said he hopes rounding up the toy guns will stop kids from
growing up to play with real ones.

�Playing with toy guns, saying �I�m going to shoot you,� desensitizes
them, so as they get older, it�s easier for them to use a real gun,� Hill
told the Mercury News.

While the toy gun trade-in may be a more reasonable way to address the
issue than suspending or expelling children, Yih-Chau Chang, spokesman for
Responsible Citizens of California, said kids can handle make-believe
games, even if their educators can't.

"Having a group of children playing cops and robbers or cowboys and
Indians is a normal part of growing up,� Chang said.

It is? Maybe that's why so many grow up to be mass shooters.


Obama has my vote on anything that will restrict unneeded firearms in

Erm... Some kids can handle not only make-believe guns, but *REAL*
ones, as well. For example, I actually took (brace yourself - this may
come as a shock to your delicate sensibilities) an honest-to-gosh, 100%
for-real rifle to school semi-regularly when I was a young'un. Had live
ammo in my bookbag for it, too. Usually only 5-10 rounds, but sometimes,
a hundred rounds or more! Many, if not all, of my teachers, and the vast
majority of my peers knew I brought it. When I showed it to him in front
of my locker one day, the principal said it was just like one he had
when he was my age, and when I told him sometimes the trigger sticks, he
said his did the same thing, and went on to tell me where to put a pinch
of graphite to fix it. After the initial "You got your hunter safety
card?", the most concern anyone ever showed was along the lines of
"Going for rabbits or squirrels today?" and "Mind if I tag along?"

Probably at least half of the boys in the school, and around a quarter
of the girls did too, at one point or another. And come deer season, it
was difficult to walk through the high-school parking lot and NOT see a
deer rifle laying on the back deck of a car, or hanging in the rear
window of a student's pickup. On school property! Terrifying, huh?!

Know how many people got shot?

Zero.

That's right Johnnykins - zip, zilch, nada, none.

Y'wanna know something else funny? So far, I haven't felt any need to do
anything that would classify me as a "mass shooter". Well, unless you
count shooting a "mass" of rabbits or squirrels every now and again. I
admit I haven't followed any of them particularly closely, but so far, I
haven't heard about any of the kids I grew up with going serial killer,
either.

So I guess that means there's a flaw in your theory.

But, being the idiot troll you've repeatedly proven yourself to be, I
don't really expect you to do anything other than froth at the mouth the
way you usually do.

If that doesn't blow Maynard Footfall's mind, this most certainly will:

When I was in the U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) in
high school, I was _ISSUED_ an M1 Garand Main Battle Rifle (MBR) to be used in
training and marksmanship exercises.

That's right a full-size, full-power .30-06 MBR!

Not one of those wimpy medium-power 5.56mm M16 Assault Rifles of today.

And guess what: no school shootings -- ever!

JROTC was a preparatory course for entry into the college level ROTC, which led

There were? Give us examples of school shootings and mass killings
before gun control was forced down our throats.

Work on it. Bring up...say...5 of them in the past 210 yrs before 1968

We will all be waiting with interest

Then of course we will respond with the government figures that show
citizens with guns prevent 750,000=1.5 million crimes a year.

But go ahead...make our day.

Pussys dont get Bronze stars and Silver Stars and the CMH and those

Pussys do however get AIDS and guest of honor at gay bars and such

OH! MY!! GAWD!!!

Won't SOMEBODY *PUHHHH-LEASE* think of the children!!!!

Oh... wait... we were talking about them, weren't we. Sorry, slipped
into knee-jerk-Johnny mode for a moment there...

Remember that principal I mentioned who gave me the graphite advice? The
rifle that hung in the back window of his truck during deer season was
his combat-experienced Garand. Probably related to him being a Korean
War vet. My grandfather's, brought home from WWII, was also
combat-proven, and that's the gun I took my first buck with. Even though
it was heavy as hell (at least to a kid used to toting a kid-size
bolt-action .22) it was as sweet a deer rifle as you could ask for. I
have undying respect for the M1 Garand, and unless it was so thrashed as
to be unshootable, under no circumstances would I turn it down if
someone were to offer me one, but nowdays for deer-ish sized and larger
game, I'm particularly partial to the Remington 700 BDL chambered in
.30-06 that he left me. Dunno why (maybe it was early experience with
the .22?) but I've always preferred bolt-action rifles over semi-autos.
(I wonder if the fact that I also prefer a stick shift to an automatic
transmission might be somehow related? Hmmm... Maybe I'm a luddite and
never knew it?)

Funny how that works, ain't it? :)

What I wanna know is why, when it wasn't uncommon for the kids and/or
staff in schools to be armed, there was, quite literally, NO SUCH THING
as a school massacre, but now, when nobody - student, staff, or general
public - is allowed to have a gun within 1000 feet of a school (look up
the Federal Gun Free School Zones act, Mr. Football. Then TRY telling me
about how well you think it's working.) we've got Sandy Hook and similar
doings.

And it is obvious that deep football have no idea what JROTC was
all about. But hey, there is a lot they have no clue about, upon
which they pontificate their ignorance without even some one dropping
a hat.

Prove that gun control was forced down your throat until just recently

Well, we have shot 5 Presidents before 1968. Gun shootings in Miami,
Washington DC, Detroit have claimed countless victims before and after
1968. you can check the gun murder statistics yourself. Even ONE
dead is too much and calls for gun control.
