12 Year Old Suspended for Gun Keychain
The JPFO Rifle Draw
NOTE: The AR-15 rifle draw is now closed and thanks are due to all who participated. We expect winners to be announced early in October.
Many may already have seen or read about this new school zero-tolerance farce, but, here we go again. We have described numerous similar incidents, such as the "Little Lego Gun" for example and now we see insanity demonstrated over a small keychain gun -- how long before the next example of the utterly absurd?

COVENTRY, R.I. - A 12-year-old boy was suspended from a Coventry middle school after his parents said he brought a small gun key-chain to school.
Joseph Lyssikatos said the keychain was in his backpack at Alan Shawn Feinstein Middle School on Thursday when it fell out. A classmate picked it up and started showing it to other students.
A teacher confiscated it and before Joseph knew it, he was suspended.
"This boy was the one waving it or showing it to other kids. Not Joseph. Joseph wasn't doing that so why weren't both of them reprimanded," said Bonnie Bonanno, Joseph's mother.
The keychain in question is slightly larger than a quarter. Joseph told NBC 10 he bought it for 25 tickets at an arcade.
School officials released a statement that said, "Because this is a student discipline issue, we cannot comment on any specifics."
The school's zero tolerance policy states that suspensions are determined by the principal.
However, Joseph and his parents said he was told of the suspension by the school's behavioral specialist, and the principal and superintendent won't return their calls.
The school also informed Joseph's family that he would not be allowed to attend a class field trip to Salem at the end of the month.
"That's disgraceful because, OK, being suspended for three days, and this big punishment is enough for him mentally," Bonanno said.
Said Joseph: "I'm missing the NECAP testing and I'm in advanced math so I'm going to have to re-do all the homework I'm going to miss for advanced math."
Back by popular demand is the JPFO window sticker - 3½ x 3½ in size and the adhesive is placed such that adhesion can be to the inside of glass, thus keeping it out of the elements. It is now available from the JPFO Store - get yours today.

Thought for the day --
We are told NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics. BUT ...
We are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
