Child's Art Sends Dad To Jail

The latest from Canada involves a 4 year olds art showing a gun which results in the father being arrested, strip searched and jailed. This is the PC movement gone crazy.  Please understand that we are for responsible gun ownership without government oversight.  We have found that most gun owners take their duties seriously when it comes to their weapons. There are always those "knuckle draggers" who don't and as much as those in leadership believe--you cannot legislate common sense.


However, this entire situation DID NOT involve an actual weapon but rather a picture of a man holding a gun.  Isn't this way over the top!  The man did not even own a gun or have access to one. Additionally, the police had searched his house PRIOR to getting his permission!  Is this what we can expect of our government when the Second Amendment is  emasculated?


Government cannot guarantee any rights which is the reason the Constitution was set up the way it is. Without this document, the United States would be no different from all other countries, a fact missed by those who would deny the rationale behind this wonderful piece of paper. Rights, not guaranteed, can be eliminated by the stroke of a pen, we better never forget that.


The story of the "crayola gun toter" is below. Outrageous and scary. Are we headed the same way?

The Nanny State in Action; Could it Happen Here?

Here's a story that one might find hard to believe. It shows what a Canadian father went through simply because his four-year-old daughter drew a picture of a gun in school. From the teacher, to the principal, to the police officers... everyone threw common sense out the window as the nanny state rolled into high gear. Rights? Due Process? Forget it!

So here's what happened as reported by The Toronto Sun. Jessie Sansone is a 26-year-old father of four. He showed up to pick up his kids from school, just like he always does. But this time, he was in for a shock. It turned out that the police were waiting for him, because earlier in the day, his 4-year-old daughter drew a picture of a man with a gun.

When the teacher saw the picture, she asked the girl about it. The girl said it was a picture of her daddy getting the "bad guys and monsters."

From there, the teacher contacted the principal who contacted the police. Mr. Sansone was arrested, taken to police headquarters, and strip searched. His home was also searched.

And so they found a gun... a toy gun that shoots foam darts. Can you imagine the trauma this man -- and the entire family -- went through?

How can common sense break down this dramatically? The little girl drew the picture as if her father were a hero... getting bad guys and monsters. This is a cause for alarm?

Yes, this happened in Canada, but raise your hand if you could see it happening here? Canada certainly doesn't have a monopoly on stupid people or big-brother officials running amok.
