Good one! You can have my toner cartridge when you can pry it out of my cold dead hands...

Printers don't kill people.

There are probably millions and billions of 'em in schools already. Why would we want to regulate them?

"Also, it seems that federal printer laws have not been effective to date at keeping printers put of the hands of kids. I've not tried recently, but I bet I could find some kids in possession of crystal meth. Why do you think that is?"

It would shoot through a piece of plywood. Took a few squirrels with it then
ran out of firecrackers. I think they got banned along with the M 80's
and cherry bombs.

A zip gun at the tender age of 7....you have lead a charmed life indeed.
