Boy’s Water Pistol Threat Leads To Confiscation Of Father’s Guns, License

Yeah, this makes sense: A 10-year-old suggests a bully should be shot with a water pistol, so the police confiscate his father’s firearms and the State revokes his concealed-carry permit.

It happened in New York, a State that is notorious for the difficulty it causes its residents who want to legally carry a gun and that recently suspended the U.S. Constitution and passed draconian gun restrictions. The father posted news of his plight April 1 on the Longislandfirearms.com forum.

As much as he’d like it to have been a bad April Fool’s joke, it’s not. In addition to having his guns confiscated and his license revoked, John Mayer’s son was suspended for two days by the Hauppauge School District following the March 1 incident. When Mayer inquired the next day about when his license would be restored, police told him it would be restored when his son turned 18 and moved out of the house.

Those running the non-education indoctrination system that passes for education have simply lost whatever minds they once possessed; and their ridiculous, mind-numbed zero-tolerance policies are causing kids and parents all manner of hardship and even resulting in criminal records for victimless non-crimes. And New York government long ago divested itself of common sense and restraint.

Mayer has sued the school system and the Suffolk County Police Department in Federal court. “It’s completely absurd,” Mayer’s attorney James Murtha said. However, Murtha does not find the case surprising. He said that Suffolk County has a reputation for stepping on individuals’ gun privileges.

“We’ve been involved in cases and situations where police have severely injured or hampered someone’s rights,” he said . “We see enough wrong doing on both parties to be going toward a federal cause of action because of the civil rights implication.”

Ridiculous

It's New York. No one should be surprised. They are California East. It's also why there is absolutely no way in hell I will ever consider moving there, even if some employer offered me a million bucks a year.

In other news: kid driven to suicide from bullying - school doesn't do shit about it.

Do I agree? No.

Do I understand? Yes.

If the father retains possession of the weapons and his son gets ahold of one and then kills that other kid, where does that lead? They are being cautious.

They entered this guys house and confiscated his personal property and stripped him of his constitutional rights over a fucking water gun and something a child said.

[silver & black]

They are being cautious.

Naw..... they are being idiots.

Not a peep over this one either.

Judge Rules Drunk-Driving Illegal Alien Incompetent To Stand Trial Due To ‘Unique Cultural Background’

Meanwhile, back in Crazy Town: An illegal alien in Massachusetts who was drunk driving when he hit and dragged a Milford, Mass. man to his death has been ruled incompetent to stand trial.

Insane? Nope. Mentally handicapped? Not even close. “Unique cultural background”? You got it.

Judge Janet Kinton-Walker ruled that Nicolas Guaman’s “unique cultural background” prohibits him from understanding the U.S. legal process. The judge also ruled that Guaman lacks the ability to effectively consult with his attorney. (What, they couldn’t find a Spanish-speaking attorney in all of Massachusetts?)

So the kids father is incapable of keeping his weapons safe? Not sure I follow your logic.

exactly. That appears to be their stance on it. When the father is told he will get his weapons back once the kid is 18 and "out of the house", what other conclusion could you come to besides them enforcing it due to the risk of the child using the weapon on the other kid.

Also, what if you're the parents of the other kid and this guys kid in question "gets the weapon" and kills your son? There is no going back from that.

Like I said, I don't necessarily agree but I understand.

Because overreaction is always better than common sense.
