You Even Have CASPER Shillin' For You, Santa?

That is all kinds of COLD. I will take the iron so that I can press a shirt. I want to look nice when I take the rifle and shoot myself. I love how every toy in this ad, if used as it's intended, can still be lethal to a kid. Even that 'Slinky' is looking hinky to me. But that's the way WE rolled back in the day. Helmets were for the children that took the little bus to school.

Give me that Nike missle and that BB Gun and I could rule the world. And playgrounds with dirt instead of rubberized resiliant surfacing.

I love most of those toys. Had my first BB gun when I turned 5.

What was the first thing you remember shooting at.

My dad taught me to shoot using beer cans. Starnge, since my dad never drank beer.

So let me get this straight. Your dad would kill a man for his six pack, empty out the cans and then let you shoot at them. In any culture that is love.

You can´t kill a person (not even a beer drunk) with a BB guns. My dad used to wear his .22 Colt revolver (Can´t recall exactly what model) when he absolutely had to. When we went on vacations in the 70´s he carried a Walther PP .22 in the glove compartment (too many kidnappings in those days in mexican freeways). AFAIK he never shot anyone except himself, just below the knee.

That is why I want nothing to do with guns. I know I would be one of those people who shoots themselves. They are like toddlers. I just don't want them around me.
