A Texas bill, known as the FURRIES Act, would ban non-human behaviors in public schools, including the use of litter boxes and wearing animal accessories.

Rep. Stan Gerdes, the bill's author, claimed schools were providing litter boxes for students acting as "furries."

When pressed, Gerdes could not find an example. The bill was left pending in committee.

Most punks I know aren't poor, they're just punks. They come from poor, middle class, and rich parents in pretty much equal proportion.

Your attitude is showing in your assumptions.

That wasn't an assumption. That was your own words:

the real problem with gun ownership is that guns are so cheap basically anybody can get one if it is the least bit important to them.

Your argument doesn't apply to middle class and rich "punks". They'll still be able to afford their guns. Your "real problem with gun ownership" argument only applies to the poor.
