Don't know if you caught it, but a state legislator in Maryland is trying to ban toy guns. I guess now she will have to go further and ban paper as well (or maybe just the teaching of Origami skills)...

The banning of realistic toy guns isn't all that new. Many manufacturers voluntarily started making toy guns in bright colors in response to police shootings which resulted from toys which looked a little too realistic.
As for the paper ban, or regulation of origami skills . . . hmmm, Licensed to Fold!
