Uspsa Is Inappropriate

[Ken Mays]

I tried to give a gun safety lecture for my daughters brownie troop... I told the leader that it would pretty much consist of "if you find a gun dont touch it, RUN and go get an adult". She said that because the meetings were held at the elementary school, they couldnt even mention guns. To reiterate, I was NOT ALLOWED TO TELL A BUNCH OF LITTLE KIDS NOT TO PLAY WITH GUNS BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING SO AT A PUBLIC SCHOOL.

My kid sister just started working at a hardware store, and they told her in training that she had to refer to staple guns as "power staplers" even though it clearly says staple gun on the package.... I think PC stands for "pretty crazy". But I digress.

Wow, so much for the First Amendment. Apparently the Ministry of Truth is working double shifts in the educational system these days.

GUNN

There,... I fixed it.

It's now officially a four letter word and considered profanity.

Definately not for use around children, in polite company or corporate environments.

Today my 9 year old granddaughter asked me to help her set up an account on a website oriented toward young girls.

When setting up here user id and password I asked her what she wanted to use as a login name.

She chose "shootingstar" which was promptly rejected by the server as not appropriate.

The world seems to have lost its collective mind when it comes to firearms.

Here is another test:

search for www.ichv.org and see if that gets the same error message.

Crap now I have to go into the quarintine \ decompress chamber you should warn people

The only thing good about that site is I didn't see a full frontal nude photo of Rosie Mc

I didn't get the warning....

I am the Systems Admin for the Dallas office of my company, and we use websense. No sites that are not deemed to be "business related" have been blocked, but hey, that is what the verizon wireless card in my laptop is for right?

I can understand not looking at porn at work, and not downloading .mp3s and the like as it poses a risk not only to the workstation, but to the entire domain. But gun sites like benos or glocktalk, etc. are of no risk to anything more than time management.
