    When stage weapons are outlawed only outlaws will have stage weapons.

    Hmmm. With the evil stage weapons banned, that will surely end the stage violence. The stage violence could be replaced by romantic scenes.
    Their next move would be to end dangerous sexual conduct on campus by banning all romantic acts in theatrical productions.
    Just think of the tremendous number of lives to be saved on the highways if they insist all students use toy cars instead of that carbon spewing autombiles.
    Many in academia were wacko before the tragic killings, and it appears they even less connected with reality now.
    I do not minimize the extent of the tragedy their campus suffered, but only an idiot could think this is an appropriate response.

    wow… that was an important thing to do.

    how about adding a question on the student application ‘Have you ever had the urge to take out the rich kids?’

    Unfortunately the most sic and twisted people are the ones that end up in the headlines.

    Shipmates,

    Well, the action, sadly, has precedence. After the Columbine shootings, many school systems banned black trench coats and anything even remotely Goth.

    My local school system has banned the image of weapons on clothing, equipment, etc. Our Middle School’s mascot is a Destroyer (because we build them here) and the school went and removed the guns and missles from the official logo. Now we have a haze-grey yacht on the team uniforms, etc.

    Respects,

    Just issue every student with a straight jacket and tie them up in padded cells for the duration. They won’t learn anything, but at least they will graduate safely!

    This nonsense reminds me of the nickname of the local Notre Dame high school team. I happened to be behind a car that proudly proclaimed “Notre Dame Mighty Irish” and it took a sec for it to dawn on me they’d gone PC and gotten rid of that nasty “Fighting” moniker.

    Were I a student, I would lead a protest to perform without weapons – entirely in pantomime – as a satire.
