There's a bit of unity.That is true, no argument here.
Can we elaborate on this?

Nope, a man brandishing a gun needs to be acted upon.Long term yes. But the phone just rang. 911. Man with gun.
Suggested solution from some here: do nothing. It didn’t used to be a problem so hang up the phone and go grab lunch.
Delusional.
The correct answer is to ask "what is he doing with the gun ?"Long term yes. But the phone just rang. 911. Man with gun.

We are talking about a specific incident. Not a made up event crafted to suit your views. There were no drawings. There was however an exact replica of a firearm in the school.The correct answer is to ask "what is he doing with the gun ?"
The modern answer is:
"He's drawing it, on a notebook, with a pencil".
"Don't panic, we have dispatched the SWAT team and social workers are standing by".
Was it being used in a threatening manner ?We are talking about a specific incident. Not a made up event crafted to suit your views. There were no drawings. There was however an exact replica of a firearm in the school.
You must not be aware of the mass shootings in schools. The presence of a firearm in a school will cause panic. Gotta go by the facts as they are now. Not what happened 50 years ago.Was it being used in a threatening manner ?
Or were people panicked by it's mere existence ?
No, the presence if the firearm isn't what causes the panic. It the official reaction to it that does.You must not be aware of the mass shootings in schools. The presence of a firearm in a school will cause panic. Gotta go by the facts as they are now. Not what happened 50 years ago.
So the kid who saw it and called his mom is at fault? He should have ignored the firearm in the school bathroom? Hmmm.No, the presence if the firearm isn't what causes the panic. It the official reaction to it that does.
It's obviously possible to have the firearms without the panic, we used to do that all the time.
And now (as in this case) we can get the panic without even a real firearm present.
So, you can keep throwing gasoline on that fire, and insist you'll put it out with just one more gallon, or you can stop and let it burn itself out.
Snitches get stitches.So the kid who saw it and called his mom is at fault? He should have ignored the firearm in the school bathroom? Hmmm.
Anyway…..
If he was 16, i dont think that would matter at all. The issue is the BB gun, or as i am sure all the faculty said GUN, was in school. That is the problem. I am not saying if its right or wrong, but i do know that ANYTHING having to do with a gun is a no go in schools nowadays.
It has gotten to the point of hysterics now though, and way too absurd. For example, my son is in elementary school, and my daughter is in middle. Both of their schools, especially in the elementary, will not even allow a student to make the gun symbol with their fingers. Yep, you read that correctly. If a kid is playing during recess and goes BANG and points a "gun" using his index finger and thumb in the "gun" shape that every one of us did a million times when we were kids, that kid will be taken, spoken too, advised never to do that again, and parents called. If it persists, it could lead to suspension.
Thats how far "guns" are demonized in school, and started at a young age. Just by making the gun shape with your fingers can get you in trouble now. Btw, my kids are not in NYC schools either, its a suburb of New Jersey.
What about putting your hands like you're holding an AR and making pew pew pew noises?
I do this at work quite frequently.
They used to say it was OK to own people too.
That didn't make it so.
