It happened in Canada go figure.

[Lumber_Jack]

At first I was floored to even think this could happen. But then found out it was CANADA. where owning a weapon is illegal I guess. This is just a picture of where we are headed

[E4 No More]

Just...WOW!!!

[gnmwilliams]

And the guy didn't even seem too upset about how wrong everything was. I mean, being charged for possession of a weapon without actually having the weapon?! Really? I would've sued them for everything they......wait....Canada you say? Nevermind.

[RobertNashville]

Yeah...it happened in Canada but does anyone here truly doubt that there aren't plenty of "officials" who would do the exact same thing here if they could?

If memory serves, we've already had children expelled expelled for drawing a picture of a gun or using his "hand" as a gun; arresting the parents for such horrible behavior is not difficult to imagine.

God help us.

[Murgatroy]

Wow. I was thinking Britain or something.

This is frightening. Very frightening.

[Mike.357]

is that story a joke?

You gotta be kidding me, arrest, strip search over a freaking picture?

The world has lost its mind.

And if everyone threatening to write in Ron Paul come the general election does that we will see this same crap happen here someday.

No here the LEOs, Principal & everyone involved would be facing a lawsuit & allot of public outcry until the publicity died down that is.

Canada LEOs could have KMA before I would have signed anything.

That would not stop it happening here at all. Lawsuits are after the fact.

[daddyo]

God help us.

[Sidinman]

That is freakin insane.

[Guest CCI]

Public officials over reacting too paranoia!

[oldogy]

A very wise group that gave us the second amendment. Could they have visualized such? And we allow the trash to chip away at it. I can see such happening some places in the US. And the oldogy just shakes his head.

Coming soon to a Country near you.

Let us not forget the 10 year old boy who was punished in a TN school for waving a slice of pizza that had the shape of a pistol around in the lunch room.

Yep, any time adults are willing to throw common sense out the window in support of “zero tolerance†whether it is Police Officers and legislators (Domestic Violence) or school officials (gun rules); innocent people and kids are going to pay the price.

Ugh... This is the kind of crap that makes good people do crazy stuff. I'd like to believe I wouldn't go off the deep end if this happened to me, but part of me sees myself moving to a cabin in Montana and spewing revolution talk. I realize this is Canada we're talking about, but the mindset of Americans is going this direction in the blue states. Just scary stuff... I feel for what my kids are gonna have to go through when they grow up.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of people in good 'ol Tennessee who think the same way as folks in the "blue states". They definitely are a majority but they are most certainly here.

You leave socialists like BHO and his ilk in charge (or in our schools) for very long and we in the U.S. can lose our rights just like the UK; Just like Canada, Just like Australia (to name but a few) and once the rights of the individual to own, much less carry, a firearm are gone the kind of thinking evident in this story won't be far behind.

[Guest ThePunisher]

If the mindset of the American people can elect a Marxist like Obumer, then you can bet your last dollar that if he gets 4 more yrs. everything will be set in motion for all out assault on the 2nd A , and erosion of your rights. It's just a short period of time before people will be arrested like this all the time. People will be scarred to even mention guns or gun rights, much less own guns.

The founding fathers warned us of government tyranny, but the sheeple never heeded their warnings.
