Administrators at a school in the South Suburbs of Chicago are up in arms over a state law (House Bill 0183) that requires schools to post small signs announcing that guns cannot be carried in schools.
The sign they're upset about is a "gunbusters" sign. They hate guns so much that a sign banning guns is unacceptable because the sign has a picture of a gun on it.
You can't make this kind of stuff up.

Perhaps they could change the picture to a bullet. How about a picture of a 30 round mag? Maybe what is really wrong is that she is a Glock fan and the picture looks too much like a hated 1911.
Was it a revolver or semi-auto silhouette? That could make a big difference in the threatening image. Long gun? May as well call in the shrinks.

Now in Chicago if a kid drew a picture of a gunbuster sign in art class or whatever would they be suspended/arrested/chased with torches and pitchforks; or would they be given the keys to the ciry?
Some of the comments are pretty funny. I liked this one:
They are afraid because they believe in "Sympathetic Magic." That is the belief that things that resemble the object that they fear are the same as that object. It is a belief that is commonly found among backward primitive cultures which are riddled with superstition and ignorance.
Such as Public School staff.
And this one.....
Hard to tell what frightens a liberal more, pictures of guns or pictures of a cross.

I, too, am appalled they have to put these offensive stickers up, but for decidedly different reasons.
