5th grade kid brings airsoft gun to Anderson school and shoots 4 kids at recess!

I'm just jealous that the kid has/had an airsoft and I don't

You would just take it to work and snipe people in the back.
It is better that you don't ......

Meh, been there, done that. It was not a problem when I did it, we all did it. We either had a thompson machine gun with real shooting sound, or a small plastic pellet gun that we played cops and robbers, army, or just plane western movie reenactment.

I had one that would sting, when dad got it for christmas, I was surprised. Held a magazine full of discs and shot hard, fast, and far. mobile musings from a fellow developer ? For all you Star Trek fans & toy collectors I...

Vintage guns from when no one worried that you "really" meant to kill them. I recall the Zebra was cool.

Yea, it's a problem in today's society. Yea, we now know that you could shoot your eye out so don't do that. Airsoft is much more potent and more dangerous to the eyes. I teach the kids to treat them like real ones, and never point them at anyone or antyhing they don't intend to destroy. Also that others may believe them to be real, so be aware of that. Sucks we have to take life so serious these days. The poor kid that chewed the pop tart into a gun thought they would hang him. He might have been an artist some day if they hadn't traumatized him over a breakfast treat.
Well, this narrows it down.

"It is a weapon," ACS Superintendent Terry Thompson said of BB guns. "I look at a weapon as anything that can cause bodily harm in any way."

I guess no pencils, pens, wire bound notebooks, lunch pales, thermos's, etc. etc. etc. I wonder how he leaves the safety of his home every day.

Good point. Although, we do have bats flying around in our building, an Airsoft would be awesome for them.

 

[Yup!]

Did anyone see the story on Fox59 on this today? As the reporter was introducing the story, and AR-15 silhouette was displayed on the screen.

it's not even newsworthy...

What ever happened to show and tell?

They still have "Show and Tell", except it's different now. A kid brings 'something' to school and *shows* it to a friend. The friend then *tells* the teacher on him and gets the kid in trouble.

Good grief....
