"Gun loving groups in Austin, Texas, have hit on a fabulous idea to promote their cause (said cause being the idea that everyone should be heavily armed at all times): theyre going to stage a fake mass shooting at the University of Texas.
Theyll be using actors with cardboard weapons, because thats the only way to simulate a mass shooting that doesnt end up with a lot of people dead. This way, nobody dies except the bad guy, and the good guys with guns save the day! Total fantasy-land"

what if a "good guy with a gun" sees this uh... reenactment?... doesn't know it's fake, and decides to take action?
what could possibly go wrong here?
i'm hoping they're all such crappy actors that no one would believe it anyway.
