Fandom High Weapons Poll

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

[OOC: ATTN: This is non-binding, non-official (although some official types thought it might not be a bad idea), and just to see what's actually what out there in the school. Vala's name is only on it because we needed a paid account (I'm so weak!) to post from.

(Remember: principalconnor rules this place with her Scary Iron Fist Of Doom, so what she ultimately says is what actually goes.)

Please answer IN CHARACTER (As a FH issue it's locked to FH members, sorry Townies!) ]

ETA: Question two, where it reads "magic users", it should read "people with magical/superpowers/mutantpowers/etc."

ETA2: Any mis-votes can be fixed by just "re-voting". It will only count your last answers.

ETA3: Anything I (aka_vala) posted in comments below with the "FH ate my life" icon are OOC, and my mistake in spacing the fact that comments are IC. My bad, please ignore. :(

Weapons:
Okay here's my part of the thing. First off I would really like to be able to defend myself against the zombies/gremlins/tentacle monsters/locker #327 and all that crap. I wouldn't even use it against godinakilt unless he tries to kill me/someone else first. On my honor.

Completely aside from that? I've been carrying weapons, several guns and knives and back-ups for longer then the majority of the population here has been alive. I'm all for weapons and think they should be allowed, as long as the people with the weapons can prove they're responisble with them. Keep 'em locked up and away when they're not usuing them, unloaded, proper safety and relatively good aim. I'm sure no one would mind that.


Registration:
I am completely for guns (and other weapons), but only for those responsible enough to have them. I think that if you want to have a weapon you should be subjected to numerous tests and should have to pass with flying colors, anything less is irresponsible.

Magic on the other hand. I don't know really. I haven't had many run-ins with it except for a couple while here. I think this would probably be a case-by-case sort of thing. Some people here, have an organic... something that makes them physically dangerous. But just because someone may be able to make grass grow on command doesn't mean that they're more dangerous than the kid who can throw their fist at someone's face.

There are others though here who are growing into powers and magic and the like and it would be wrong to brand them as weapons right off the bat. High school screws you ever enough as it is, a label that you're the bad kind of dangerous could kill a kid or twelve.
