‘He’s 8. He was doing exactly what he was told to do’

JIM FLETCHER

Parents of a second-grader in Colorado Springs, Colorado, are outraged after their son was questioned by school officials for completing a class assignment in which he said he had seen the figure of a gun in the clouds.

Kody Smith, a student at Talbott Elementary in the Widefield School District, went outside last week with his classmates after being asked to describe figures in the clouds. The students were told to use their imaginations.

Get locked and loaded with accurate information in “The Gun Rights War.”

“Draw a picture of what you see in the clouds from your imagination, and that picture is a gun,” Kody told his teacher.

The teacher sent the 8-year-old to the school office and filed a behavior report.

“This is an example of what Jeff Cooper termed ‘hoplophobia,’ which he defined as a morbid fear of weapons and anyone who uses them,” said Chris Knox, director of communications for the Firearms Coalition.

“Elementary schools seem to be a center of hoplophobia,” Knox told WND. “I will grant that the Newtown horror may have put people on edge, but nothing teachers can say or do will prevent little boys from seeing guns wherever they look.”

Knox is the the son of the late Neal Knox, who was a noted Second Amendment expert, vice president of the National Rifle Association and chairman of the Firearms Coalition.

Chris Knox said he remembers as a kid imagining guns in many different objects, from “my favorite climbing tree (it had a pruned branch that looked remarkably like the grip of a pirate’s flintlock which had a comfortable feel as I sailed the ocean) to the Independent Insurance Agent logo, which to the 4-year-old version of me resembled a .45 Auto.”

      How will they disarm America? By instilling in children that ANY firearm in the hands of civilians is ‘extremely dangerous’ and should be critized, condemned, and shunned. This is how fascist tyrants sow the seeds of suppressing your ‘Personal Freedom’ and placing you back in bondage because you will relinquish your weapons at first, willingly, then secondly, by force.
