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. :(

I suppose I'll comment too, as there seems to be some confusion on previous comments of mine (and yes, I'll do this IC). I don't really care if people have magic powers/whatever (obviously--I like cheating people in poker) and I've been told that brining up the fact that they still have no oversight is petty and a us-vs-them mentality.

But is it? Isn't it much more a case that someone saw a problem (IE: a student with a gun where they shouldn't have had one) and decided guns=bad, while everyone ELSE has been allowed to continue with the original set of sanctions as a deterrent (and what a good deterrent it is! I sure don't want detention.) Why aren't we afforeded this same opportunity? What, exactly, is the difference between having a gun in your hand and ...I dunno. A big flame-y sword of justice that is the focused totality of one's will (corny, yes. Shhh.)? Aside from the fact that the gun can be taken away and the sword, presumably can't? I really don't think seperabiltiy of the weapon from one's person is a good criteria for judging one's responsibility in handling it.

Hrm. Maybe I should have taken a normal sociology course.

I also have a low tolerance for crybabies. But the locker can always take care of that... *looks totally innocent*
