I think most on this site as well as others are severely over reacting. It's not been 10 years since I lived on the campus of a college and these air soft guns were all over campus. My brother is in college now and just over the summer he was telling me how they would have air soft "wars" in their dorm. The only reason this escalated was someone reported that a real gun had been fired. Some of these guns may look real, but in no way do they replicate the firing of a real gun. Should the kids be punished? Absolutely, but I don't believe their intentions were to create a school lock down by alarming the police that their were gunmen on the campus. They were kids being kids, and sometimes kids get in trouble. But calling for their education and possible career to be taken away from them due to a TOY is absolutely absurd. Obviously some of you have not been on a college campus in a while.

Bb82 your perspective would have merit if we had never experienced Columbine, Va Tech, etc....this was an incredibly poor lack of judgement and common sense. There's a reason why folks go to paint ball facilities, woods, arenas to re-connect with their cowboy-indian, gi joe, youth gun battles. These aren't 10 year olds. They are held to higher standard at 17+ yrs old and receiving a free education. :Thumbs:

This wasn't a water balloon fight. And airsoft guns in the dark, and in the light for that matter, can very easily be confused for a real weapon. These kids are lucky a pro-active, gun ho cop didn't release some rounds in them. They're fortunate no one did get hurt and I wouldn't be surprised if they receive harsher penalties down the road!

Besides the fact this stupidity takes away from the attempted legitamacy of a UK program ideally on the upswing looking to gain program momentum , AFTER an SEC WIN. Haven't seen many of those around here for awhile. Instead we see college kids gone stupid!!!
