Clever analogy to the madness of gun fetishists.

Better than Get-Off-My-Lawn guy shooting a stoner.

Even though it sounds nutty as a fruitcake... I agree. The reality that if a lunatic starts shooting, having 20-30-40-50 rocks flying at him could mean the difference between a tragedy and a massacre. When the government fails (as it did at every level in Florida) the people have to fill in the gaps. This isn't a bad idea.

Thirty simultaneous 50mm rocks vs a handful of 5.56mm lumps of lead.

so what happens the first time a student is injured with one of these river rocks? are the rock grabbers going to call for rock control? will they want to ban assault rocks? will they call for back ground checks for rocks? will they require that one be at least 18 before buying rocks? are they going to then demonize the NRRA(national river rock association) by calaling them a terrorist organization?

I'd like to say he was being facetious but, after retiring from 31+ years as a teacher, I know he wasn't.

As the person who wrote the first emergency plan for my school, which became the template for the entire system, I have to ask how much the Blue Mountain School District is paying this guy.
