5-Year-Old Girl Suspended For Bringing Bubble Gun To School

Once again liberal commonsense gun safety reforms have averted a potential mass shooting. A 5-year-old kindergarten homegrown terrorist brought a bubble gun to class in Colorado, but thanks to the school district’s zero tolerance policy, the threat was neutralized. The dangerous weapon was confiscated and the little girl was suspended. Just think of how many lives were saved by these sane and rational gun safety policies.
ABC 7 reports that a little girl, whose name is being withheld at the request of her mother, brought a clear plastic gun that shoots out bubbles to Southeast Elementary in Brighton, CO on Monday. Before class started, she took the deadly weapon from her backpack and showed it to her friends in the hallway. Luckily a teacher was there to thwart the nearly disastrous consequences of having such a weapon of mild amusement around children.
The mother, who would also like to remain nameless for “safety concerns,” received a call from the school telling her to come pick her daughter up, because she had been suspended for possessing and brandishing something that could caused laughter and glee.
“I asked, ‘Is it really necessary for me to come get her?’ And they said, ‘Yes, this is our zero tolerance policy, and somebody needs to come get her immediately,” said the mother.
The mother told the school that she was unaware that her daughter had taken the bubble gun to school and pleaded for some sanity.
“I apologized right away and said that I am so sorry she did that. I appreciate that they’re trying to keep our kids safe, I really do. But there needs to be some common sense. It blows bubbles,” she said.
The little girl was so upset by the incident that she doesn’t even want to go back to school following her suspension.
“It’s a shame because it’s the end of the school year, and it’s kind of ending on a bad note now. And she didn’t deserve that. She didn’t deserve a punishment like that,” the mother said.
Nobody from the Adams County School District was willing to do an interview about this, but they did release a brief statement:
“This suspension is consistent with our district policy as well as how Southeast has handled similar situations throughout this school year,” read the statement.
As it turns out, that statement was complete bullshit. Here’s the school district’s zero tolerance policy:
According to the District’s policy for weapons in school, discretionary discipline may be used if a student displays “a firearm facsimile that could reasonably be mistaken for an actual firearm.”
Is there really someone so dense that they think this clear plastic toy is a replica of a real firearm? Maybe that Muslim guy who found a blow-up sex doll and thought it was an angel would, but any reasonable person can see this thing is anything but an actual gun.
The problem seems to lie with the word “reasonable” which liberal gun-averse educators are most certainly not. Zero tolerance policies aren’t even good intentioned. They don’t make students safer. They aren’t designed to keep people from bringing real guns to school nor do they stop killers on those rare occasions when that happens. They only thing these policies do are traumatize and punish kids for being kids.
Great job liberals. Way to mind-f*ck a generation of young children for no particular reason at all.
