You are replying to the most obvious of jokes, but even if it wasn't a joke your response doesn't really make sense. There is nothing in that comment that would imply that the person writing that comment misunderstood what you wrote.

Are you describing yourself here or what?
You made a snarky comment, I made a snarky joke in the same vein, you decide to bring in statistics (of the wrong country btw)? Why?
Only if the French start doing it.
No. It's hysterical admins using lousy logic to conclude that finger guns = violence. The logic is something along the lines of finger guns = real guns = killing people.
I think the logic is "it could be a threat" but yeah it's dumb either way, unless it is a threat I guess.
The only time I really heard this talked about was in elementary school, and finger guns were never a threat at the school I went to. Not even once, but the teachers and administration would harp on about it like kids were demonic for making them.
They could get you expelled at mine, but not charged. IIRC even water guns would get you actually charged. Tbf it was shortly after 9/11, but still.
Are finger guns going to become the equivalent of a middle finger in the US because of how many people die to guns?
Much like the middle finger gesture is offensive because outside the US many people die to birds.
That's one way to misunderstand the sentence. Impressive. The USA preschool reading level isn't a joke after all.
