There’s an old Mickey Mouse cartoon with Chip and Dale where Mickey grabs a shotgun from over the fireplace and chases the chipmonks. The shotgun has been replaced with a broom.
It isn’t the same.

Compound bow with deer arrowheads, which are really gnarly.

Only a fool would watch these. There are tons of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies from the Golden Age of animation. I have 4 or 5 DVD sets and 3 Blu-ray sets of them. Elmer Fudd with a scythe is too ludicrous to contemplate.

Don’t you just love it when these so-called leaders are making emotional decisions in stead of economic decisions.

Just shows how stupid these people are. Elmer didn’t carry a rifle, he carried a shotgun. None of his pictures ever show him with either a pump, which he did use in a few scenes, or a bolt action at any time. But he mostly carried a double barreled shotgun.

“Elmer was usually cast as a hapless big-game hunter, armed with a double-barreled shotgun (albeit one which could be fired much more than twice without being reloaded) and creeping through the woods “hunting wabbits”.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmer_Fudd#:~:text=Elmer%20was%20usually%20cast%20as,the%20woods%20%22hunting%20wabbits%22.

Tack that on to the new hunting effort using a scythe, an elongated curved blade on a wooden handle that will hack anything it hits slowly torturing the receiver to death, which is far greater damage than the shotgun, and is going to be impossible as there isn’t a human alive that can chase down a running full grown bunny. Let’s change history.

Another thought like this is when they took the guns away from the law enforcement people at the blocking of Elliot and ET when they were on the bike. Thanks to ILM and John Williams, it was one of the most powerful moments of the film and actually said something. But removing the guns took better than half the meaning out of the shot. Ruined it for me as it changed the need for it and turned it into a special effects practice not a scene.

C210N, you cut it off too early. The result of Itchy’s blast has Scratchy being blown 93m miles (in)to the sun and being burnt to a crisp. You should have let us see that. And FYI (lookin at you also, dfwgator) the gun and lemonade clips are from the same episode where Marge, Maude Flanders, and Helen Lovejoy protest cartoon violence, one of my fave Simpsons eps.

If you look at the cartoon clip, you’ll notice Sam has a huge “no” list of people who can’t ride the roller coaster. At the top of the list, it says:

“No Liberals”
