Student Arrested For Posting Zombie-Killing AR Game Clip Filmed at His High School (yahoo.com)
18-year-old high school student Sean Small was arrested in Indiana on Tuesday and charged with a misdemeanor for posting a videogame clip to social media. An anonymous reader quotes Yahoo Lifestyle:
The clip in question is Sean playing The Walking Dead: Our World, which is an augmented reality game that animates characters into a real-world setting. In this case, players kill zombies. Along with Sean's video he wrote, "Finally something better than Pokemon Go," which is also an augmented reality game....
Sean, who is a member of the Indiana National Guard, pleaded not guilty to an intimidation charge. He was released on $1,000, and his school expulsion hearing is set for next week. The video featured other students walking through the halls as Sean allegedly attempted to kill the zombies the game placed among them.
Realistic footage of shootings in the high school's hallways apparently alarmed the off-duty sheriff's deputy hired to work at the high school -- who then filed the misdemeanor intimidation charge with the county prosecutor.

Does removing the gun from the shooters cold dead hand count as effective gun control?
No. The point of gun control is prevention, not a collection of an arsenal.
what are the laws you want to have and enforce.
The same that apply in places where there are no shootings. Gun toting is not a "right", but a privilege and should be treated as such.
Posting that is a bit like posting "Antigravity is a must have to remove transportation issues."
Except that "antigravity" is science fiction, whereas gun control is an effective policy.
No, I'm not anywhere near "completely wrong". While "right" is a social construct and depends a lot on the society, there is a list of fundamental rights that are generally accepted all over the world. Gun-toting isn't one of them. It is a social construct in some countries, notably the US, but even there it has been a subject of significant differences in its interpretation.
The current interpretation, which is the reason for the stupidity exhibited in TFA has not been the traditional one.
