CARSON CITY, Nev. — Students could bring a small toy gun to school, point their finger like a gun or — yes — even brandish "a partially consumed pastry or other food item to simulate a firearm" under a bill that has two steps to go before becoming law in Nevada.
Basically, Nevada students could do everything short of possessing a real firearm and schools would be forbidden from punishing them, according to protections proposed in Assembly Bill 121. Without debate, the Senate Education Committee unanimously recommended for a full Senate vote Tuesday.
Having already passed the Assembly in a 24-17 vote, the bill only needs Senate approval and Gov. Brian Sandoval's signature to become law.
