Back in 1960, nobody panicked when this kid held a toy gun during JFK’s speech

Via comment by Anonymous on Texas boy suspended for saying he could make class...

Nor did they freak out that he had a toy gun pointed at his own face (because…you know…it’s a toy!). How the times have changed!  Today, school children get suspended and even arrested for finger guns, LEGO guns, Nerf guns, water guns, and Pop Tart guns.

    Did you hear what I heard on the radio today?

    A schoolboy was suspended because he threatened to kill another schoolboy with his magic ring, as in "THE HOBBIT" trilogy.

    They know its too late to indoctrinate us but its the up and coming generation
    they want to plant a negative seed in their minds against guns. I walked into
    a small pet store and said "stick em up" with my finger pointed to imitate a gun
    and the grown ups laughed. This nonsense is to be mocked.
