There are other underlying reasons to outlaw toy/air guns.
Since it is unsafe and illegal for little boys to have real guns, toys and non-lethal guns are training devices,
and the elite do NOT want the average person conversant in the use of arms.
Ironic since our Peace Prize POTUS uses drones to kill suspected terrorists , their friends and family (only those who are outside the USA in certain countries.)
back when I was a boy 1960s my favorite cartoon was Jonny Quest (the original hand drawn ones) and it was prime time too, That was just a fantasic action/sci-fi/horro good bad guy show where the bad guys got killed. Hell, I still watch it on Boomerang from time to time and like it, I used to tell everyoneit was my favorite of all time.
But the PC nammy mommies raised a stink and got all Hanna-Barbara action shows removed from the three networks by ~ 1970 ~ 1971.
Then we moved to the Scuby-doo era, those scooby doo bad guys were real p,...ies and note that they always got arrested without getting a scratch
