We made dry ice bombs in science class when I was in school. Can you imagine the horror if current students were exposed to such a simple way to cause an explosion?
I was just thinking what a short time those morons would have lasted in my day. We had projectiles and explosions all over the place and I don't recall a single person getting hurt.
You clearly know nothing about the LAUSD - it is liberal from top to bottom.
Get back to Harrier when you actually know what you are talking about.
I can personally refute that. I knew at least one principal in an LA school who was a hard core conservative.
I would also point out that the action taken is absolutely conservative and would expect those that do it to be the same. Narrow readings of laws and regulations is a conservative trait.
So name names and political affiliations or admit you are talking based on nothing other than your desires.
depends on the projectile and the velocity. Such devices are often used for very practical things like sorting coins or cleaning metal.
Virtual any device capable of imparting velocity to a projectile can be used as a "gun". That does not pollute the physics. Run stuff between a pair of rotating tires and you can achieve some great velocities.
My favorite is the old demonstration where you use a blow gun to shot a ball bearing at a falling can and never miss. Some pretty good physics in there if you work it out. And if you use a source of compressed air for the blow gun you could probably claim it would become a "gun".
And my favorite really is a gun. An air rifle that I use with very low pressure to bounce bbes off crows. They go away after getting hit three or four times. On a high pressure it would likely kill or maim. As used it just annoys.
I made a red oak billy-club on the lathe in 10th grade wood shop. The teacher asked me what I was making, I told him it was a table leg. LMAO
"Oh, ok....stains over in the cabinet you know"! lol
For poisoning kids minds with their liberal agenda. The "hands on" part of school turned into brain-dead computer labs. The things I learned in school back then landed me a career and a pretty good job later in life.
Guess what, I still have that custom red oak nightstick. It never hurt anyone.
