It’s a sad day in the life of undergraduates everywhere when they can’t even have a game of “zombies vs. humans” the way it was meant to be. The University of Colorado banned Nerf guns from campus so the game had to be played with rolled up balls of socks.
Granted, rolled up balls of socks are fun to throw and all, especially at your wife, but you can’t beat the fun of drilling somebody with a loaded Nerf gun. I’ve actually been encouraging my 5 year old to put Nerf weapons on his “Santa’s list” this year. Have you seen the selection lately? They have a whole arsenal available.
The Washington Times reports that the University of Colorado put the kibosh on Nerf guns on campus. The kids took it pretty well though, you can’t keep a good zombie down. Anyway, the Nerf gun ban has been in effect for years, and University officials made it clear that it wasn’t a new ban just to “suck the fun” out of the zombie vs. humans game.
Just a word to all Universities around the country, a little common sense goes a long way. They say that Nerf guns can be mistaken for the real thing but I just don’t see how. Most of the Nerf guns I’ve seen are bright green, yellow, or orange. I’ve yet to see a real firearm that looks like this.
I guess for now the ban stands. Zombies and humans will have to wage war with balled up socks. That is until institutions of higher learning find it in their heart to let kids play with toys again.
