U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday A Portsmouth second grader is facing expulsion after bringing two toy guns to class. 7-year-old Josiah Green was suspended for ten days in May after he was caught with a water gun and a Nerf gun. Both don’t look anything like a real gun. Once his suspension was up, the school told his mother he is now facing expulsion. “It is frustrating right now,” said Josiah’s mom Audreyann Davis. “I was emotional and shocked. I understand that he’s suspended, but now you’re throwing that he could be expelled on the table.” |

I'm glad I got to grow up in a saner time. What can you say about this? It boggles the mind. Boys have been playing with water guns and Nerf guns forever-- they're children's toys, after all. Expulsion for a kid bringing a harmless kid's toy, appropriate for children, to school?
Is there any hope for us when the inmates run the asylum? |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
