If only the crowd below the Mandalay Bay Las Vegas had hockey pucks. Shucks …. so many lives saved. How stupid is stupid?
What kind of overpaid lofo rocket scientologists are teaching our kids? Who the hell thinks hockey pucks are equalizers? Even their dumb ass messiah, the treasonous gay Kenyan commie, says “when they bring a knife, we bring a gun.”
And whistles, too. Everybody knows a good whistle will save them.
So….throw a hockey puck and blow your whistle and you’re good to go.

So much of their brain-storming is in complete defiance of common sense we either have to laugh or give them the stink-eye.
OK, revision to Rule #1: Don’t bring a knife OR A HOCKEY PUCK to a gunfight.
This will make it easier for the shooter to pick targets: throw a hockey puck and be the second guy to get shot.
In case I ever need it, Iām trying to picture what a belt fed hockey puck assault weapon would look like.
HE SHOOTS AND HE SCORES!!!!
When hockey pucks are outlawed only outlaws will have hockey pucks. Or something like that.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a hockey puck.
What about a gunman dressed in goalie equipment?
As I posted elsewhere, with a properly designed, auto-loading, high velocity puck launcher, this idea could work. /s
…at LEAST upgrade a LITTLE…

Well, you can’t say the school doesn’t give a puck.
P.S. – They should also pass out clay pigeons in case the shooter is armed with a shotgun. While the guy is distracted by shooting at those, they can bean him with the hockey pucks, don’cha see?

It seems to me that throwing a hockey puck at someone with a gun is a good way to get shot.
NNNNnnnnnnn…. no no…
This is very dangerous. We’ll have a hockey puck throw-out. People throwing around hockey pucks could injure or kill innocent people when their aim is bad.
“People throwing around hockey pucks could injure or kill innocent people when their aim is bad.”
…not TOO worried about THAT part, @janitor. We’re talking about modern, pistol-frightened, latte-drinking, snowflake university students. Most of them probably can’t even pick the heavy pucks UP, let alone throw them with any kind of dangerous force…
“It seems to me that throwing a hockey puck at someone with a gun is a good way to get shot.”
…depends on how hard the shooter is laughing at them after the attempt, @DrRiff. Aiming accurately can be tough with a good guffaw going…
“They should also pass out clay pigeons…”
..the REAL pigeons are the parents that are paying TOP DOLLAR to send their precious boobykins to this ate-up indoctrination center, @Vietvet…
How about throwing tiny pieces of lead?
Say, at 1200 feet per second?
Sounds like something a French General in World War I would come up with.
SWEET CHARIOTS OF THE GODS!!!! THESE PEOPLE ARE RIPE FOR AN INVASION BY CANADIANS ARMED WITH HOCKEY STICKS!!!!
How about simply throwing rocks? Rocks are good enough for illegal border crossers and Palestinians, so they should really appeal to collidge stoonts.
Uncle Al. A school in Philadelphia has buckets of rocks in the class rooms as protection for the students. Much cheaper than hockey pucks. Brilliant! My faith in America is deteriorating by the day.
But someone in Michigan has a brother in law who makes hockey pucks.
Get it?
Has anyone ever suggested training the students to use sling shots?
Hockey pucks are black, so this defensive measure is racist and I, for one, an extremely triggered and want money. Of course, the students can’t use baseballs either because those are white and signify white privilege. But how about those green neon colored softballs – I don’t know that there are any victim groups of green people.
Hey, I’m just trying to be safe and politically correct.
GREAT!
ROTFLMAO!
WOW. My name came up after the 1st letter. No more misspellings
Before this topic is swept off iotw report let me tell you about sling shots.
We used to make our own. The fork of a branch of a tree, about 3/4 inch thick. 12 inch rubber links cut from an old tire about 5/8 inch. The tongue of an old shoe. Bind the rubber links to the the fork with thin cut rubber bands and secure the other end of the bands the tongue. Bingo, you have a sling shot. For ammo we used 3/4 inch stones from a river bed. Round and hard. I could hit a dove at twenty feet. No problem. I used to bring my weapon to school, as did many other mates.
But today you have state of the art sling shots with 1/2 inch Ball bearing Ammo. Use them!
Just sayin’ I say sling shots should be the rage among the anti AR-15 rifle morons. I say finance sling shots before hockey pucks and bowling ball pins and basket balls, and base balls.
Look, I’m going to have another drink.
I’ll stick with my SA Loaded, thank you. And 2 spare mags. š
Moe Tom – A wrist-rocket is accurate, silent and lethal with those ball bearings or marbles.
You could ask the squirrels around here about that, but they’re all dead.
