We as a society changed.

My step-dad got a Red Rider BB gun for Christmas but got it taken away when he shot his sister with it.

We as a society changed.

Then again, it depended on the individuals and their phobias.

Was back visiting relatives in New England early sixties and a step-cousin had a Crosman 600 (CO2 semi-auto .22 pellet pistol) that he managed to jam.  Sold it to me and I smuggled it back to SoCal.  Figured it out and spent many weekend out in the fields around Playa Del Rey shooting the place up.

Then the step-monster found it and went into orbit.  She hated even pea shooters.

The grief I got after using a thawing Thanksgiving turkey for home-made blow gun target practice was epc.

Some people are just plain insane about some things...........

That's what Walter Williams suggested on the Mark Levine show a week ago.

At those prices, I will take one of each.  Growing up on Molokai in the 1960s, I would leave my 30-06 behind the seat of my pickup, even when I drove to high school.  That gun almost never left the truck unless it was being used.  I know several other kids who had high power rifles in their cars at school.  No one shot each other or even branished their gun.  I think my generation had more sense of right and wrong than the kids today.
