Seems like they just don't make 'em like they used to, anymore:

I agree. They should be given real guns.Saw this the other day on Yahoo News...it was in an article about "Really Bad Toy Ideas". The pacifist pantywaists at Yahoo apparently think giving kids toy guns is a no-no. Who knew?![]()
I was raised the same way and haven't became a mass murderer either but looking back I think it might not be the best way. Of course I "caught" many a bad guy with my Sgt Preston of the Yukon gun and holster.Hmmmm, I was a kid back when these were advertised and readily available. No one I know, no one in my whole home town, grew into mass murderers. Maybe it was because we got to play out our fantasies as kids and moved beyond them.
Oh, and where can I get three or four of those at the $3 price? ;=}
Actually, I'm not 100% sure where my avatar pic came from; I'm not very good with computers, and my Ruger forum bud jlh820 was kind enough to help me out with finally getting one. I can tell you [though you probably already knew] that it's a photo of a Union Pacific "Centennial" locomotive, aka a DDA40X.... in all her 6,600 HP, 98 feet 5 inches length, 260.99 tons of glory!Hey, NCLEO89, your photo is from the Western Pacific Museum?
+1.I agree. They should be given real guns.I know this may seem funny or odd but I believe if a kid is old enough to know what a gun is and what it does they should be given the real thing and taught gun safety. Don't just give them a toy and told to "go play". They will learn to play shootin' and aim at people.
