Cops Seize Dad’s Firearms License and Hunting Rifle After Spat With School Principal Over Son’s ‘Despicable Me’ Drawing

Robert Goodwin, 41, was engaged in a heated disagreement with the principal of his son’s elementary school last week over a picture his son drew in art class.

His 10-year-old’s drawing of “Gru” from the children’s movie “Despicable Me” depicted the character “shooting ping-pong balls at his minions,” Goodwin told the Boston Herald. School officials reportedly deemed the drawing as sexual in nature.

So the Arlington, Massachusetts, dad apparently thought an additional visual aid would help.

The father should go after the school saying he feels his son is at risk for sexual abuse at the school's hands--they see something sexual in the kids drawing--maybe they are perverts!

The school situation has gone beyond ridiculous--it is now downright frightening!

So I guess if you get a speeding ticket or charged with something totally unrelated to guns, they can take your guns away?

This was hilarious. Gun loving, rap spouting idiot tries to intimidate principal with usual gun nuts "I've got access to guns" bluster, she doesn't take his threatening crap call the popo and suddenly his world is rocked and he starts crying like a baby. "But...but I' didn't man nothin' by it. I was just sayin' I've got guns is all".

This is the funniest story in some time!

The guy sounds like "a loaded pistol" Seemed and acted kind of threatening to me as well. I don't think the principle was totally off base on this.

Always have access, never let anyone know.
