I'll be curious to see how this plays out. Simulating shooting another player seems easy enough to call, but what about finger guns in the air? Does Texas Tech get a pass for school branding/tradition? What about pointing forward on first down with two fingers: is that a gun?
- 100% ban on everything gun-related or gun-adjacent. Can't even wear short-sleeved shirts to show off your guns.
  
  Quarterbacks can no longer have cannons for arms.
  
  Cheerleaders no longer allowed to fire cannons at kickoff or t shirt guns into the stands. Tshirt trebuchets are still allowed
I believe they tried to crack down on this back in like 2005ish where they tried to eliminate the fingers across the neck. Honestly a little surprised it took this long to tackle fake guns.
I knew we would be highlighted in that article before I clicked it.
Watching the game, when he stood over Dart and did the shotgun motions, we were screaming at the TV, "You moron!!!!!"
When he did the later in the game, it was directed at teammates, which I assume is why it wasn't called.
