Just as bad as Minnestoopid. The mere mention of the word g-u-n sends people into vapors, clutching pearls, falling on the fainting couch, or running to their “safe space”.
If a spent 22 shell is a weapon, then a sharpened crayon is a weapon.
A .22 rim fire casing apparently. This is what happens when you send the ignorant masses to college and tell them they are "educated" because they get a degree in English, Journalism, or X-studies. They despise those who do not have a college degree, but do not realize they are actually idiots themselves and a cracker-jack box degree won't change that. It reminds me of the Soviet Union.
I’d call that a “punkin’ ball.”
Good question.
We used to like to collect bullet casings to use as whistles. And glass bottles, too.
This all looks like a classic case of educated idiots. Where is dad in all of this?
“Thats a pretty damn beefy strike for a 22 rimfire. Almost to the point of overstrike, IMO. Id check the protrusion. :0)”
That cartridge was disassembled, then fired empty.
[[Today it would probably result in a felony record and suspension or expulsion.]]
Maybe even life in prison- meanwhile illegals rape a 14 year old girl and the liberals yawn and threaten anyone who blames illegal immigration for allowing it to happen
lol
That may well be. Did anything that went with the picture actually say that?
Indeed. Makes one think the Crocodile Dundee solution is the only way to be sure.
the problem is the damned political correctness- the school systems are so afraid of being sued that they have this ridiculous ‘zero tolerance’ policy- a policy so moronic that a child chewing a poptart into an “L” shape gets suspended because it ‘resembled a gun’, and a young boy kissing a girl innocently is seen as ‘sexual harassment’ now, and the police called- instead of simply taking the child aside and explaining RATIONALLY that it’s not a good idea-
People suing everyone over everything has brought this ridiculous culture on us-
Wow.
When I was in school I built a fully functional 1/3 scale replica of a Civil War field cannon in metal shop - and fired it.
I got an award for it, not a suspension.
Times have sure changed

“That may well be. Did anything that went with the picture actually say that?”
I don’t know. The crimp also did not get flattened out as it would have if it were loaded with powder and a shell.
Good to know.. Don’t send him back.
“shell” = “bullet”. My bad.
I don’t have much occasion to do what you suggest. But I will take your word for it. All I see under what can be seen in the picture, the strike is too deep. I even think I see a case rupture.
One thing that might confirm what you say is there isn’t any discoloration on the case I can see. Thank you.
The only threat this item offers is the danger that someone might swallow it. I doubt that any other child at the school would have associated it with a gun.
Why is it so difficult to get reasonable decisions from school administrators? Because the average SAT/ACT scores in the schools of education at almost any college/university are some of the lowest on the campuses. Journalism is the lowest.
