Today is a rough day with the expected court ruling from CA. So here is a little fun.
If time machines were available, I would love to send a liberal gun hating, sex promoting, nanny state educator back to a 1960's classroom filled with kids and the following toys:

Suzy homemaker toys
The gun toys would send them into a tizzy straight away. But one could whisper in their ear that kids were thinner and never shot up class rooms back then. The head shrinker toy will likely send them into heart failure over the PC violations. And then there is the Suzy Homemaker set full of hot things, moving parts, and shock hazards. But that would not be the worst of in a liberal's mind...the conditioning of little girls to consider housework fun is soooo demeaning.
A liberal will be so busy being outraged at these toys that they will fail to realize how inventive we kids were back in the day. Cookies were baked in those ovens, but so were worms, dog poo, and other toys. Girls and boys learned about chemical reactions and toxic fumes as well as matters culinary.
Those toy guns were just so much fun. I never had the tommy gun. But I did have some cap pistols that went almost everywhere (my mom drew the line at church) with me in holsters when I was four. Liberals will never understand that the toys were the first step in teaching kids to respect real weapons.
Enjoy the commercials.

I want one.
Clackers! In 6th and 7th grade, you could not walk 10 feet down a hall in my school without dodging those things flying around. I feel bad for kids today, no one lets them have any real fun with semi dangerous stuff.
Man, I had Creepy Crawlers and one of those guns too. I had the best toy rifle in the neighborhood because of that one. We used to dip caps in our go-kart’s gas tank and then hit it with a hammer too. Our playground’s were made out of concrete and asphalt and our parents had no idea where we were for most of the day. Awesome stuff.
I had one to shoot my sister.
Marx Toys bump!
