Boy suspended for airsoft gun... ON PRIVATE PROPERTY!

Too many liberals for my liking.

Khalid and Aiden aren't only suspended, they were recommended to be expelled for a year for "possession, handling and use of a firearm."

Here is the root of the problem. The school board defines a toy gun that shoots a harmless plastic pellet as a "firearm". There is no "fire" involved. The plastic pellets are shot using a spring, and are not harmful or lethal. It is a TOY.

How we let liberals mis-define firearm is beyond me. They are getting our kids to fear, and hate anything that resembles a gun.

Lawyer up. College and retirement taken care of.

I wonder if it was one of those blue plastic pellet guns sold in blister packs in grocery and drug stores? I had one as a kid back in the 1970s. It shot little yellow plastic pellets. Another gun shot little multicolor plastic discs.

Fucking retarded.

I was going to make a longer post but I think that sums it up better.

"My son is my private property ..."

Really? What type of person actually says that??

[B.A.]

how do you expell a kid for doing some thing outside of school?

[IIIIIREPOIIIII]

We all need to go to that community and break the world record for the largest water gun fight!

I want this kid as my team captain!

WAVY.com reached out to the principal of Larkspur Middle School, Matthew Delaney. In a letter obtained by WAVY.com he said his investigation found the "children were firing pellet guns at each other, and at people near the bus stop." The letter from Delaney says one child "was only 10 feet from the bus stop, and ran from the shots being fired, but was still hit."
Khalid insists all the shots fired were on his private property. The three children firing the guns were suspended. The three others who did not fire the guns were not suspended.


Khalid thinks it's unfair. "Yes, it's unfair because we were in our yard. This had nothing to do with school. I didn't have anything at school at anytime."
The Virginia Beach City Code isn't clear, and goes back and forth. It reads no person "shall...discharge any firearm, spring-propelled rifle or pistol...within...150 yards of any building." Then it reads "no person shall use a pneumatic gun except at approved shooting ranges or within private property."

These poorly written laws allow broad interpretation giving government official latitude to act then force the victims of their wrath to take legal action, forcing them to spend money to defend themselves. The bus stop is not a "building", and the TOY GUN was being discharged on private property.
