When gun control goes too far

A five year old kid who goes to an after school program at Hyannis West Elementary School faces possible suspension over making a lego gun. The gun looks unrealistic, and the reaction to it was way over the top. The adults running the after school program claimed "he was posing a threat to other kids."  I would understand if it was a lego sword and he was beating people over the head, but this behavior was not inappropriate nor was it violent. What do you think?
