The question needs to be asked, whether, if the disabled girl who made the finger gun was Black, or Muslim, would the authorities have called Santa’s little helpers, the ever-happy, police?

“Lawmaker alarmed that school is ‘acting as an extension of the police department’ Gun control is so 2010s. The new decade may usher in finger-gun control. Pennsylvania’s Tredyffrin-Easttown School District called police on a 6-year-old girl with Down Syndrome for making a finger-gun gesture toward her teacher, the girl’s mother told CBS Philly. The district is defending the “threat assessment” and the summoning of police, even though it concluded that “nobody was in harm’s way” when Margot Gaines got angry at her teacher, pointed and said “I shoot you” back in November. Maggie Gaines, her mother, made the incident public in a letter to the school board last month. She said her daughter was immediately taken to the principal’s office after the incident, “and it was quickly assessed that [Margot] didn’t even really know what she was saying”: “They were asking her questions, and she was saying, ‘Oh, I shoot mommy,’ laughs, or, ‘I shoot my brother.’ The principal asked, ‘Did youmean [sic] to hurt your teacher?’ And she said no and it seemed like she didn’t even know what that meant,” Gaines stated. Sources tell CBS3 Margot has no record, but her name is part of an official report. … “She really didn’t understand what she was saying, and having Down syndrome is one aspect, but I’m sure all 6-year-olds don’t really know what that means,” Gaines said. “Now, there is a record at the police that says she made a threat to her teacher.” The school district provided CBS Philly a statement saying it agreed to review those practices in a committee meeting. The “current practice” – which apparently gives little heed to context – was developed with “parents, law enforcement and private safety/mental health agencies and legal consultants,” it said.”
One might have thought at first glance that the disability would have kicked in to overcome the gun symbolism, but no, guns trump disability it seems. You can see where this is leading; after guns are banned, then anything that looks like a gun will be banned, including fingers, delicious finger buns, finger buns with cream and jam, and definitely penises! That would be paradise for the feminists! Oh, I guess the feminists might eat the finger buns for morning tea!
