LOL!
The AMA is about as accurate as Julius Streicher’s Der Stürmer. And yes, I am comparing the thieving, murdering, lying AMA pigs to German Nazis.
Yeah for Hickok. He’s great.
Children who grow up watching gender-deranged imbeciles on MTV grow up to be gender-deranged imbeciles, but that’s a GOOD thing.
Me ! Diana, I have a firearm in each room of the house. Each one, condition red. Ya just never know when the thugs may come a callin’ !!
Also, the kids are gone now . . . .
Well, of course! But mine are more for varmints at this point in time.
BUT when I had TODDLERS at home, everything was locked up and up HIGH.
This picture is just SO over the top! You can see why the pea-brained Socialists are so AFRAID of guns; they think THIS is how we in, ‘Flyover Country’ actually live!
“Little Sally! Take Daddy’s gun off the table now! I’m setting the table for supper!” *SNORT*
You’re right D. That pic is waaay over the top. Wonder how many they took to get just the “right” one ! LOL.
Yep, I have “killed” thousands of imaginary German and Japanese soldiers when I was kid.
Never killed a real person, nor do I have desire to.
Weird, ain’t it?
I am infuriated, there is not a “Tommy” gun in the set.
And it was American designed and made.
For Shame, For Shame! /sarc
Those are really neat.
Born in ‘52 - saw all the shoot-em-ups and learned the difference between the good guys and the bad guys at the same time....today, they often elevate the bad guys into some sort of dark hero BS....
I know! One of the kids I know watched Star Trek in the 60s, got ahold of a phaser, and killed seven other kids. Horrible!
I, too, grew up in the “westerns” era. Every Christmas I got “cap busters”, toy guns that fired “caps”.
My Dad had several real guns...a couple of rifles, and a double-barreled shotgun. I remember they were leaned against the wall, in a corner, behind the dresser.
He also had a couple of pistols in a drawer in his bedroom.
However, I knew it would have been hell for me if I ever touched one of them. It’s called parental supervision, and discipline.
The movies of today are based more on blood, guts, and violence for the sake of violence. The CGI department defines the movie, not the story, or plot.
Then there’s video games, which make “killing” the scoring system.
Parents need to keep those violent movies and games away from adolescents. They need to help them develop some life skills, morals, and attitudes before being introduced to real guns.
I’m 72, and I own several guns...but it’s been probably 5 years since I’ve shot any of them, then, at the range. They are for my family’s protection, not for hunting, or stalking.
This story is just another attempt at banning guns...it won’t work either.
I differentiate Westerns from the more recent Hollywood shoot-em-ups. I do not allow my children to watch gratuitous violence, especially when combined with a lot of the immoral trash in the same movies.
Same here.
Difference was if we touched a real gun without permission from an adult we were in for a serious ass whooping.
Maybe kids who like guns like to watch movies like that. Although their may be a relationship between the two variables, they haven’t proven causation.
I grew up watching the A-Team and still can’t hit anything I’m aiming at with my Mini-14.
