Bang Bang- Boys and their toy guns

When I was a child my mother forbade my father from buying me any kind of toy gun.  I assume it was out of fear that a cap gun would make me grow up to be a professional killer (I wish, they make some serious cash I hear and have alot of travel).  This annoyed my father as he grew up in the 50s when cowboys, gumshoe detectives, and there gun totting brethren ruled the media.
I was a boy, and as such, I was naturally attracted to the idea of playing games involving less then real guns.  My mother finally gave in when she caught me shooting my brother with a puzzle piece in the shape of Florida (educational toys have some fun uses.)

I have yet to kill a man, nor has my cap gun toting father.  I say let boys be boys, and understand that play is play.

any way a video that illustrates just how much times have changed is below.  (look at the criminal- I think sheriff Andy Taylor will be very upset with Otis if he saw this).
