Back in 2014 the city of Cleveland proposed some strict new gun control regulations. It read like a gun control activist’s Christmas wish list, including things like a “gun offender registry” based on the concept of a sex offender registry.

A 10 year-old boy in Ohio has been suspended from school for using a ‘Level II Look-Alike Firearm’ in school.
