Sure it's stupid, but then so are most of the pro-gun arguments out there.
I'd like you to inform me of a pro gun argument that has been used in an official capacity by professional group, similar in seriousness as a school principal (so likely at the level of masters degree) that is as stupid as saying that a 9 year old boy using the One Ring to make his friend vanish is a threat to another child's safety and can not be tolerated.
I'll wait.

As Eisenhower said, the middle of the road is the only usable surface and the extremes are gutters.
Could you explain the middle of the road given that you seem to be suggesting that the gun protection side, which is suggesting laws that would make it not acceptable or legal to remove a student from school for eating a pastry into a sort of gun shape, is the ditch or gutter?
These radical NRA nut job types are just trying to protect a 5 year old girl's right to keep and bare a Hello Kitty bubble gun. That a 5 year old armed with a weapon of such bubbly firepower does not need a psychologist to examine her to determine if she has the mental state required to wield a weapon of such power.
Those bible clutching gun nuts that want a student to be able, without a background check I might add, set the wallpaper of his laptop to an image of a rifle.

You are trying to come across as a reasonable sounding person but the actual stance you are taking is that the middle of the road is somewhere between a law that stops schools from expelling students from bringing Lego guns to school under their weapons clauses and the common practice of doing just that.
No.
That's not the sane middle ground. The Pop-Tart law should be considered the right gutter of the road and some libertarian delusion of having 6 year olds have legal duels in the school grounds is the left. The current school insanity is more like driving 10m off the road cross country to keep with your road analogy.
