Kid suspended for drawing a gun

Not "drawing" as in "pulling a real gun out of a holster." Drawing as in with a pen on a piece of paper. No threat, no depiction of anyone, real or fake, getting killed. Just a drawing of a gun.

TV should be suspended from life for showing guns.

Can't see the forest for the trees much?

When I was that age (when I wasn't perspiring) I liked to draw guns. And rockets. And a pickle exploring a cave.

I drew a pickle exploring a septic tank.

This is just a veiled promo for Dude Can't Draw, isn't it?

Hmmm. I don't know. Why would he be drawing this on homework that he was going to turn in to his teacher?
I could see it being seen as a threat of some sort.

He's 13. I drew on everything that a pen would write on when I was 13.

I'm imagining a teacher correcting homework papers all alone in a classroom by herself after all the kids have left. Could be scary.
