That’s sad to hear about plans to limit use of the machines based on staff whims. Is a rod a weapon? A box with a sharp edge?
It really places an undue burden on employees, too - how would you expect them to recognize internal gun parts, for instance? They just look like, well - parts. Absent a barrel or a trigger, good luck telling gun parts from parking meter parts.
Makes about as much sense to me as a library refusing to carry books that might teach people how to hurt others.
EDIT: Or here’s one - what would happen if someone wanted to use the library’s machines to make some lock picks?
