Firearm Paranoia

At the beginning of the Macy's parade there was a rifle drill team -- I know this because I've seen the moves before. The problem was they were not spinning rifles, they were drilling with large white comma's. These rifle substitutes weren't quite as curved as a comma but that's the best description I can come up with.

Are we that afraid of guns that we can't stomach a drill-team with a wooden outline of rifle?

Annapolis Maryland is banning toy guns.

What will wackos think of next?
