absurdity

In the latest example of anti-gun hysteria, police in New York State
confiscated a man’s firearms and revoked his pistol license after his son
threatened to use a water pistol against bullies who had taunted his friends
at school.

Commack resident John Mayer is now pursuing legal action after Suffolk
County Police visited his home and threatened to embarrass him in front of
his neighbors before confiscating Mayer’s handguns and rifles, firearms
worth around $6,500 dollars.
Mayer also had his pistol license revoked and was told it would only be
restored when his son reaches 18 years of age and moves out of the home.
The police visit stemmed from a March 1 incident at Pines Elementary school
in Hauppauge. Mayer’s 10-year-old son discovered that some of his friends
had been bullied by other boys and there had been a scuffle on the
schoolyard. Mayer’s son discussed a plan with two other boys to bring a
water pistol, a paintball gun and a BB gun to the home of the bullies
involved in the incident.
Despite the fact that the boys involved do not even own any of the guns
mentioned, when the school principle found out about the conversation he
suspended Mayer’s son for two days and filed a police report.
“What the school did was atrocious,” Mayer’s lawyer, James Murtha told
the Hauppauge Patch. “He’s a good kid, who has been discriminated against
severely by the school district.”
A few days later, Mayer received a call from the pistol licensing office
informing him that his pistol license had been revoked and that police would
visit his home to confiscate his weapons.
“I attempted to explain that this must be a mistake, no wrong doing
occurred on my part. My son has no access to any of my guns. The officer
that came to my residence saw that all my guns were secured. Pistol
Licensing was not interested in my side of the story. They were only
interested in what happened with my 10-year-old son in school,” said Mayer.
According to Mayer, he was harassed by police who also threatened to
interrogate his 10-year-old son without Mayer’s permission.
Suffolk County Police and the Hauppauge Public School District have refused
to comment on the matter besides releasing glib statements.
Mayer is now pressing charges against both Suffolk County Police and
Hauppauge School District in federal court.
This is merely the latest of a long list of incidents involving hysterical
reactions to so-called gun “threats” made by children in schools since the
Sandy Hook elementary school massacre in December.
- In March, police rushed to Malden High School in Massachusetts after
reports of a gun only to discover a neon-colored water pistol.
- Last month a third grader in Michigan was reprimanded by school officials
when he brought a cupcake to school adorned with a plastic toy soldier
holding a gun.
- A ten year old Virginia boy who was arrested for taking a plastic toy gun
to school is now facing a potentially permanent criminal record over the
incident.
- A student in Florence, Arizona was recently suspended because he had a
picture of a gun on his computer.
- A six-year-old kindergartner in South Carolina was suspended for taking a
small transparent plastic toy gun to school for a show and tell.
- A day before that incident we reported on the five-year-old in
Massachusetts who faced suspension for building a small toy gun out of lego
bricks and play-shooting his classmates.
- We also reported on an incident that erupted when a discussion between two
children about a toy nerf gun caused a lock down and a massive armed police
response at two elementary schools in the Bronx.
- In another incident, a Long Island high school was also placed on lock
down for 6 hours in response to a student carrying a toy nerf gun.
- In yet another recent incident, a five-year-old girl was suspended after a
three hour grilling, and described as a “terroristic threat” when she
brought a pink bubble gun to school.
- A South Philadelphia elementary student was searched in front of
classmates and threatened with arrest after she mistakenly brought a “paper
gun” to school.
- A 6-year-old boy was suspended from his elementary school, also in
Maryland, for making a gun gesture with his hand and saying “pow”.
- Days after that incident, another two 6-year-olds in Maryland were
suspended for pointing their fingers into gun shapes while playing “cops
and robbers” with each other.
- In Oklahoma, a five-year-old boy was also recently suspended for making a
gun gesture with his hand.
- And finally, a 13-year-old Middle School seventh grade student in
Pennsylvania was also suspended for the same hand gesture.
