Hello Kitty, Bye Bye Kiddie: Pennsylvania School Suspends Kindergartener For Bubble Gun

I don't know if it's just an extreme case of "It's OK If You're a Right-Winger," or if it's just Tennessee, or if law-enforcement everywhere has just been so cowed by the NRA's "comin' to take yer guns" rhetoric that they're too afraid to take away guns from someone whose guns really need taking away.
