And of course as everyone knows, once you've whittled down barely edible pizza into a gun, it becomes a gun and you will then be able to shoot grease bullets at people, giving them fatal heart attacks. Come on IB, you know that's impossible. Pizza is a vegetable, they fire tomato paste bullets.

But it really doesn't take very much common sense to tell the difference between my brother threatening to shoot a teacher with a weapon we actually had in the house, and a kid waving around a completely innocuous object that happened to be vaguely gun-shaped. Of course not, I'd say suspension and counselling for him. This kid got the naughty table for six days Correction: it was the rest of the semester. If he had done this earlier in the semester, it would've been much longer than six days. He was forced to attend a gun safety course over a slice of pizza.Not to mention a gun safety course involves a LOT more than "a talk about how guns aren't toys." Because it is an overreaction, and it is over the line. A slice of pizza, even chewed into a slightly gun-shaped object, does not resemble a gun in any way. What's next? Putting kids in detention for playing lightsabers with cardboard tubes?

And instead of being "ok, that's that" people are crying "overreaction" and whining about how's it is too over the line. Let me explain to you in a way you'll understand. This....Is....Over....A....Slice....Of....Pizza....Chewed.....In.....The....Shape....Of....A.....Gun Ironbite-even if he was able to somehow transmute it into a gun I wouldn't be giving him suspension...I'd be asking him how the hell he did it.

"Correction: it was the rest of the semester. If he had done this earlier in the semester, it would've been much longer than six days."
Are you certain? Are you sure they didn't level that on him because the semester only lasted a little while longer?
"Because it is an overreaction, and it is over the line.

It's not about the goddamned pizza, for fuck's sake. It's because of the act that they took these steps. It's because he could shoot someone later on in life and then everyone comes to hang the school because the school took no action on it.
And the kid learned about gun safety, isn't that what I hear preached in every gun thread?

By that logic, Nerf should close down their business because some shooter MAY have played with a nerf gun when they were young, and so the onus would be on Nerf for providing that gun. Of course, that logic is exceedingly stupid. So, yes, it IS about the goddamn pizza. There's a difference between making gun safety a requirement for people interested in purchasing a gun and forcing it on someone who waved a piece of pizza around.

Yes, and you see how many schools allow nerf guns. The faculty is trying to cover their ass. They are doing what hyperventilating fuckwads demanded they do after every incident involving schools and shootings. This is what people screamed for and now people don't like it.

IT'S A PIECE OF GOD DAMN PIZZA! How hard is this concept for you? I mean seriously. This is a piece of pizza that was chewed to vaguely look like a gun. I will continue to hammer and hammer and hammer this point into your head until you get it.
Ironbite-PIECE OF PIZZA!

The school was irrelevant in my example, with Nerf filling its place. Re-address my example with that mindset, please. And it's stupid and deserves to be abolished along with the intense victim-blaming that goes on in bullying cases.

Guns are not toys, the school wants to avoid responsibillity should some incident occour later on down the road in life. That's why lots of these policies are enforced And personally, I think everyone should be forced if they don't go willingly to gun safety classes. Every last mother fucker in the US. And nerf guns also have warnings printed on the box and/or instructions. The Vulcan I have on a shelf had "gun must be used responsibly" and "Do not use without adult supervision". Hell, even guns can have warnings stamped into them. I've got a few that have "do not point at face" stamped into the muzzle I couldn't agree more, but it won't, because the events will repeat themselves after every incident

Like a gun. And quite frankly the school was acting on a policy designed to save their asses. For all they knew he could have been treating a gun at home like a toy. Yes, i know the article says they don't have gun in the house. That doesn't matter, it's the same situation if a cop asks to see what's in the trunk vs taking their word for it.
Hell, I wasn't even defending the school that much, just I could see their side of it and from there have been pushed around to the point it looks like I'm trying to.
