"Having been privvy to the weapons ban, it was instituted because of irresponsible practices and uses on the part of several teachers and students. This is supposed to be high school, not a war zone, and if a war zone is what people want, they're in the wrong place." Spider lit another cigarette for himself. "Guns and other weapons were freely allowed until people began discussing using them on each other. As we can't track all the rumors to find out which ones are true and not wanting student blood on our hands, they had to be taken from everyone. If you want to complain or discuss the issue, I'd say find a way to assure the principal that people won't be using said weapons on each other."

Spider blew a few smoke rings. "I haven't gone anywhere without a weapon for longer than you've been alive and have probably seen and caused more deaths than you've had hot breakfasts. If I have to find a way to cope, so can you."
