The effectiveness of low-tech solutions against high-tech military hardware is examined through the lens of drone warfare and a local criminal case. In Azusa, California, 81-year-old Prince King was identified as a "serial slingshot shooter" who used ball bearings to break windows for a decade before his recent death. The discussion posits that simple tools like nets and slingshots remain viable counters to advanced surveillance and police drones.

### Pennsylvania School District, Arming Students with Rocks

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1019-deletethebag/chapter/pennsylvania-school-district-arming-students-with-rocks.md

The Blue Mountain School District in Pennsylvania has implemented a controversial security plan by equipping every classroom with a five-gallon bucket of river stones. Superintendent Dr. David Hesel defended the plan, suggesting students could "stone" an intruder as a last resort. The idea is mocked as ludicrous, with a counter-suggestion that students should instead be trained with high-powered slingshots for better defense.

### Weapons Restrictions and Slingshot Legality

- **Episode:** [519: Freemium Reporter](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/519-freemium-reporter.md)
- **Published:** 2013-06-06
- **Time:** 2:30:27–2:33:52
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/519-freemium-reporter/chapter/weapons-restrictions-and-slingshot-legality.md

The booklet's chapter on weapons explains that individuals under 18 cannot own BB or pellet guns in Connecticut. It also lists various prohibited items, including "dirk knives," switchblades, and police batons. A confusing section on slingshots suggests they may be legal to own but illegal to possess as a "weapon," which the hosts find nonsensical.
