I notice they didn’t try to stop a militia drilling with live ammo...

I guess the ban on pointy sticks worked out the way they planned, so they decided to expand it. The weenie-i-zation of our country.

I don’t know what’s worse. Banning Nerf guns on a college campus or grown adults on a college campus playing “humans vs. zombies” with Nerf guns.

i dunno, sounds like a blast to me.
and for the record, if someone mistakes a nerf gun for a real gun and calls 911, the real idiot should be arrested... the blind and stupid one.

Ban on pointy sticks - pens and pencils? “Students” at University of Colorado can only use jumbo crayons? Wonder what meds they get.

I am confident that pencils fall under the pointy stick ban. I think they are required to write with large chunks of chalk. It is my understanding that the students are also required to encase themselves entirely in bubble wrap before leaving their dormitories, frat houses and apartments. The always safety-conscious City of Boulder has thoughtfully lined the streets with tempur-pedic type foam in case the bubble wrap fails.

I'd rather have them running around yelling "Zombi!" and shooting their buddies with Nerf guns than drinking themselves blind and barfing.
My daughter told me about this a couple of months ago, it's big on her campus. Seems like a good time and all in good fun, she runs with a somewhat eccentric but morally straight crowd.

I reflect on my college days and remember ingesting copious quantities of various organic, synthetic, fermented and distilled substances. Might have been even more fun if I was shooting zombies with Nerf guns!

I fully understand. They look SO realistic!

We did both at a famed and respected University decades ago.
I think we called the game “assassin” and not “zombie” but it’s the same.
We used rubber-tipped suction cup dart guns.

My teenage daughter goes with a group of friends to a park to play during the summer. It’s well organized and the kids have a blast running around outside and NOT sitting in front of a videogame console.
This is akin to banning soccer on a playground.

Does doing one prevent doing the other ? Somehow I visualize them doing both. The Zombie Stupor is not simulated :)

I can understand that realistic weapons used in a threatening manner can lead to tragic misunderstandings, but this paranoia of all weapons, real or fake is a symptom of a societal sickness.
