I'd say that the dramatic overreactions of zero-tolerance policies in the wake of school shooting have less to do with liberalism or conservatism, and much, much more to do with bureaucratic cover-your-ass-ism, because if you DIDN'T ban nerf guns, what happens when a kid brings a gun disguised as a nerf gun to school? Certainly the zero-tolerance policy of this and other districts cannot be effective, and certainly they aren't preventing any school shootings -- zero tolerance policies reached their apex in the years after columbine, but there are still shootings on a regular basis. So a liberal that pushes a zero-tolerance policy is certainly not doing it from the rational, evidence-based center of their kind soul.
