Can you spot the problems with these two situations? Hint: it’s the same problem.
Secretary of State John Kerry signs UN Arms Trade Treaty.
Virginia Beach middle school suspends two boys for playing with toy guns on one boy’s front yard.
Answer: Both Kerry and the Virginia Beach middle school officials are "driving outside of their lanes," as it were. Neither has the authority to make such decisions.
Something else about these situations: they are two levels of a squeeze manuver. One is local; the other national/international and they seem unrelated. Both are born, however, of ideologues who can't achieve their goals unless the people--all of them--are disarmed. Even toy guns must be banned and your children must be discouraged from playing with them. Why? Because, one day, toys won't be enough for them.
