Gun ads have changed with the times. Political correctness is certainly not the name of the game in these classic pieces of gun marketing. It was just plain old fashion advertising back in the day.
Hammer the hammer? Lawyers wouldn’t come within a football field of this one.
Of course, hammering on a vintage revolver probably is a bad idea anyway…
Oh no, that guy is teaching his son how to hunt, you say?
Where are their iphones, video games and couch? Well, buddy, this is how a father is supposed to raise his son to be a man, not a bump on the couch of life.
A .22 rifle as a Christmas present?
Well, that certainly is becoming quite a thing of the past, sadly.
The iconic Red Ryder BB Gun is the first “gun” for many of us. - I still have mine!
Oh no, that kid has an toy fully automatic M-16 rifle! - See the rest of these 10 Vintage gun ads here. 
Oh, no, he’s just as bad as Sean_Anthony, just it’s about guns, people don’t pay attention.
LOL! Somebody’s read “Unintended Consequences.”
Well said.
Me too. And the Dick Tracey 38 snub nose and Tommy Gun set with holster and badge.
I remember going to Sears when I was a young kid (it would have probably been in the mid-1950’s). They were having a shooting demonstration by someone (I don’t remember who).
He had a Sears .22 and was shooting .22 Shorts (he made a point of saying that several times) INDOORS. He shot balloon backwards through a mirror and aspirins straight on, all while talking about the great guns Sears sold in the department directly behind him.
That last kid looks a bit like Jonny Quest.
Good point.
Notice how it is only a genuine tragedy of cosmic proportions - according to the commiedia - when a leftist icon is assassinated?
