How many school shootings have their been? You don't walk in a campus with any gun! Have you been in a coma the past 15 years? :ChairHit:

I don't make the laws. Maybe you should lobby for all toy guns to be illegal so our children will not have a fascination with guns. What they did was immature, stupid, and a poor lack of judgement and possibly character. However, it was not a criminal act. Unless a report comes out that they were acting with malicious intent to scare students or cause chaos. Then I would understand the harsh punishment of expulsion and legal action should be taken. However, if after the investigation it is ruled that they were only being immature kids I don't believe any other punishment is warranted besides games suspensions and extra conditioning. If the school decides they broke a rule in the University Code of Conduct then the University should also take action, if not then it should be over and done.They shouldn't have had toy guns and they should be punished accordingly. It was a horrible situation and after talking to my cousin there were a lot of people on campus genuinely terrified. However, although being stupid kids they can't be held completely responsible for the situation escalating. In today's society with the past tragedies people jump to conclusion causing a panic. Due to those tragedies it's better to be safe than sorry, but we shouldn't condemn if our suspicions are wrong. Over the last 4 years their have been several occasions on campus' that umbrellas were mistaken by students as guns and campus' were locked down in a chaos of panic. I suppose it's also those kids who thought it might rain that days fault for causing chaos on the campus?
