Don’t you have to put a picture of gun on the sign to conform to some sort of international standards. Otherwise, those that cannot read or speak the language will be unable to comprehend its meaning.

Exactly. They can’t read so they need a depiction of what a gun looks like. But then there are so many types they’ll have to put up a poster showing all the types of guns there are.

That Unspeakable Thing, which cannot be seen or spoken or acknowledged, is banned from this premise by imperial decree.

Thank you. He was rather amazing. As he once wrote: “... I’m an engineer, an artist, or a U.S. Marine. I’m as comfortable with physics as I am with ballistics or a brush...”

But enough thread hijacking ... Our local high school has since developed a Navy JROTC program and does not seem all paranoid/PC about these things. And this is NOT a rural area, though comfortably south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Before the first ‘Gun Free School Zone’ signs were posted, we had no school shootings. I think it was the suggestion.

My niece in Montreal wouldn’t say “gun” a few years back. Insisted she was told it’s a bad word.
