Well folks, I'm pretty sure that now a memo will be sent out to all, students and facility alike, to probably not just this University, but too all educational facilities in New York, stating along the lines that no, type of firearm, toy or otherwise will be allowed on any school property.
Let's face it, they WILL blow this out of proportion.

Well, we're still going to allow cops and robbers here........
We used to have this big funnel (powered by 3 men -- 2 to hold the elastic tubing strings and one to draw the funnel back and let it go--the folks majoring in bureaucracy could help too by telling the shooter where to aim) -- called it a "gazoorcher" -- fired water balloons, etc--had a 100 - 200 yard range. Great fun shooting from frat house to frat house. Guys would deflect the incoming balloons with brooms and shovels. Never hurt anyone.

The year I was a rifle instructor at a rich kids' camp, we rigged funnelators out of funnels and surgical tubing, mounted to tomato stakes driven into the ground. We could drop a one pound water balloon into a 36 inch diameter circle at 100 yards with practice. Do you suppose the BATFE would classify a funnelator as a destructive device?
Thanks, Baser--I find the terminology and concept disturbing, expecially when I hear it in the news.
We were pretty good in college--Maybe not to the 3' standard (this might have been partly due to the ingestion of many beverages by the teams..........)--what we lacked in terms of accuracy we made up for in terms of rapid fire. Could get the ladies t-shirts damp with the water frag pattern at least and knock over the opposition's keg ...... had to be a little careful, though. We did find out that the water balloons can go thru windows, hence the "defenders" with the shovels.
Long time ago, though.

Wow,...you are the first other person I know of who knows the term "gazorcher".
They really should stop making all those bright blue, orange, and yellow Smith and Wesson guns. I bet my bottom dollar that is where all the confusion is coming from....
LOL -- yeah....think it's a technical term......went to an engineering school in the east and that's what we called it there. Then I learned it's easier to be a pilot than an engineer .

I think they oughta stop making those toys that look like REAL guns! I can pretty well tell the difference between the toys and real guns, but those airsoft replicas look too much like the real thing to tell the two apart, til you get closer.
They play that game here at school and there are lots of people carrying around nerf guns and they look nothing like any gun i have ever seen that is ridiculous.....
