BearingArms: Lewis County is one of the least populated and most rural counties in New York, and has a strong outdoor tradition of hunting and fishing. Recently a 2nd grader in the tiny Lewis County town of Watson (population, 1,881 in 2010) was told that his Christmas tree project would not be put on display with that of other students because he decorated it pictures of bows, a bolt-action rifle, an over/under shotgun, a trio of pistols, and spent brass for ornaments.
Jerry Ward, the student’s father explains, “We as a family hunt, fish, trap and love the outdoors. Both my daughter and son attend the Lowville Academy and Central School, as did I and all of my family. When my father was in school they had a rife shooting team. When I was in school we had an archery league.”
“Now my son can not put paper cut outs on a poster.” MORE
I have to go to several schools in the course of a year for my work. I’ve often wondered what would happen if I would drop a subscription postcard from any of the gun magazines in the hallway of the school.
Probably major lockdown.
Afterwords they would automatically put you on the “No Fly List”.
No guns for you.
Wonder how they feel about fags, moslems, and “social justice?”
Mr. Ward should send that photo and story to the NRA and have it go viral. Such Bullshit!
This is cool!

100,000,000. That’s the estimated number of guns sold during Premier Hussein’s tenure.
Clearly, in the Real World we are not afraid of guns.

So now the poor boy will be traumatized because his creation isn’t the only one on display. The teachers and administrators are mean-spirited, evil hags who must be afraid of their own shadows.
This is very disturbing. They will indulge and coddle these wimpy – assed snowflakes, but they will slap down an authentic, gutsy little boy who is obviously being raised by his parents to be a real man and not some Pajama Boy type.
His parents should sue the school district.
Sorry, doped to the gills on anti-histamines today. Meant to say he’d be traumatized because his creation is the only one not on display.
Fur, bring back edit!
at least it wasn’t a pop tart gun.
Meanwhile, little Farook decorated his tree with pictures of severed heads and he was given an A+ and awarded a trip to the White House
We are so fucking doomed. The jihadists have 6 year olds who carry around severed heads and we have “adults” who are afraid of a picture of a gun.
Just tell them it’s a clock.
…and if it was pictures of condoms, dildoes, pasties, leather goods, handcuffs and blindfolds, he would have been awarded the position of valedictorian for life.
