In those days, you could run around with toy guns and play games all day long. Now someone calls the police and you stand a good chance of being shot. Back then, cops would rather take a bullet than shoot a kid. Now they find excuses and take that all inclusive rational justification "I felt my life was in danger." Remember the kid in the field in California with an AK-looking toy, or the 'glock tart' or the kid who used a pencil in school as a gun... suspended. So kids still play guns... in ultra violent video games, indoors and private but protected, with out all the exercise of running around. It feeds their imagination in harmful ways and a few... Well I'll take the '50's and my toy guns back in Midland Texas.
