Police arrested a Kitchener, Ont., father outside his daughter's school because the four-year-old drew a picture of him holding a gun.

Jessie Sansone told the Record newspaper that he was in shock when he was arrested Wednesday and taken to a police station for questioning over the drawing. He was also strip-searched.

"This is completely insane. My daughter drew a gun on a piece of paper at school," he said.

Officials told the newspaper the move was necessary to ensure there were no guns accessible by children in the family's home. They also said comments by Sansone's daughter, Neaveh, that the man holding the gun in the picture was her dad and "he uses it to shoot bad guys and monsters," was concerning.

Police also searched Sansone's home while he was in custody. His wife and three children were taken to the police station, and the children were interviewed by Family and Children's Services.

Sansone's wife, Stephanie Squires, told the newspaper no one told them why her husband had been arrested.

"He had absolutely no idea what this was even about. I just kept telling them, 'You're making a mistake.'"
Several hours later, Sansone was released without charges.

While this story is ludicrous, it's doesn't really qualify as a "2nd Amendment Offender", well, because it's from Canada!

Whether this belongs in this catagory or not may be debatable, it is worthy of note. Often in discussions with those who feel our concerns are an overeaction, we try to point to modern day events in other countries where the personal rights to keep and bear arms are being infringed upon. Then we hear, "it can't happen here". Well I doubt that citizens in England, Australia and Canada ever thought it would happen in their countries.

This is an example of a Second Amendment offender even though Canada may not have a Second Amendment, it does remind us that we can never let down our guard. Because if people like President Obama and Eric Holder and others would have their way, it COULD happen here.
