Give Me a Gun or Somethin'! The Monster's At the Door!

[Hepcat]

its just the modern version of the rolls dont seem to fit into my old guns that well.. and theres hardly any " umph!!! " when i fire.. i dont know if they do that on purpose now, for " safety" reasons??  Id rather play with danger and see the sparks and hear it go " bang bang bang" with each shot.

Yes, caps have probably been dumbed down along with everything else. Let's see now:

1. Diet pop and caffeine free colas.

2. Decaffeinated coffee.

3. Sugar free gum.

4. Mild and light/lite cigarettes.

5. Light/lite beer.

6. Low sodium Ritz and other crackers.

7. Light potato chips.

8.  Light/low  salad dressings, cold cuts etc.

9. Toys that fire projectiles are long banned.

10. Metal lunch boxes for kids have also been banned.

11. Cartoons that were already censored for sexual content by the Motion Picture Association have been further censored for violence/racism for TV.

It is to scream. Everything's been dumbed down to hell.

If you can't survive your childhood toys, you have no chance to make it in the real world.

[bigbud]

So very true, Mord. But I think in this "new" world you have to survive eager lawyers and parents just as eager to point a finger of blame at anyone but themselves. 

[Hepcat]

Very true!

I'm pointing a finger at Canada right now and asking why ya let this snow cut loose on us!?     Buddy

Here's a very cool aerial cannon. One of those shoot-your-eye-out toys. It was produced by Harvill manufacturing. I would date it at late 50's or early 60's. The cannon is all metal, with plastic projectiles. Cannon barrel is 12" long. 2 metal wheels are turned for side-to-side movement and elevation.   Buddy

Charp: That's a nanny state for you.

Huh? When and what did Charp post?

Sweet armament Bud!!

Thanks Gary.......... I haven't seen many of these around. Suppose to have rubber tips to put on the projectiles........long gone. That allows for much more "ouch" power when hit by one.....Buddy

Yes, and those very same parents are the ones that closet their kids in front of the TV because of their paranoia for the great outdoors. Then when these kids somehow still dare to give vent to their youthful exuberance/enthusiasm, the parents eagerly embrace some quack's diagnosis of their kids as hyperactive and drug them with Ritalin. And of course it's not surprising that these modern parents so eagerly embrace drugging their kids after a lifetime of abusing tobacco, alcohol, LSD, cannabis, valium and Prozac themselves. But of course they seek to protect their children from the "deleterious" effects of sugar and have their kids ingest chemical sweeteners such as Aspartame, Nutra-Sweet and saccharin instead. Twould appear that cancer doesn't rank high up as an evil in the minds of these parents.

Like I say, it is to scream....

[bigbud]

Hep............it's only a toy cannon. I'll share with ya.   Love, Buddy

[bigbud]

Did you think this subject would just fade......slip away? No! That ain't gonna happen! Here's a Kenner gun from 1964. And it has a snappy name....."The Gun That Shoots Around The Corner". Box shows junior shooting around a wall and up over the living room recliner.  Bop Dad and he'd never know where it came from.....you may not get your red ball back though........Buddy

[jimm]

How do you resist shooting some of these fantastic guns??
