Roleplayers Seek Removal of Nerf Gun Ban

An anonymous reader writes "LARP fans at Bowling Green State University may have to contend with a crippled game of Humans vs. Zombies after the University banned Nerf guns on campus. In the live-action game, players are either humans or zombies. The goal of the game is to change all the humans into zombies, or for the humans to evade capture by zombies for a certain amount of time. To defend themselves against zombies, humans may use Nerf guns. Players (most likely the human ones) are petitioning the University to lift the ban. The game had troubles back in 2006, when participating students were arrested. That issue has since been cleared up."

Urban Dead cosplaying?

I play Urban Dead often enough, but doing it in real life is very, very sad. At least I know there are bigger nerds than me still in the gene pool.

Re:Why would anyone ban nerf guns?

No. This is a textbook example of the fact that people are retards. The constitutional right to own a gun is rooted in the idea that it's harder for the government to oppress an armed populace than an unarmed one. Which is pretty much the thing that makes the entire rest of the world find the USA incomprehensible.
If you're designing a government with the fundamental idea that all governments are corrupt, then you've failed before you've even begun.
