Anyone recall what those handlebars were called? When I grew up they were referred to as the same name as a current pickup truck is called today. I don't recall the monkey bar part but the curved part had a specific name.

What handlebars ?

Don't forget: "...U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell on Friday said the U.S. government would use its nuclear weapons in a hypothetical war against Second Amendment supporters refusing to give up their firearms....",  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-dem-says-government-would-use-nuclear-weapons-against-gun-owners-resisting-firearms-control

It was a school anyway.  Even today as a non-student with a valid CCW I can carry on my state University campus but faculty, employees, and students can't
