Seriously, what has become of this country? 
When I was just a 5 year old boy back in 1959, my parents bought me a matched pair of Roy Rodgers pistols, together with a nice holster. That Christmas I also got a toy Winchester Model 73 rifle, that could be loaded with toy bullets. The metal case of the "ammo" contained a spring in it. You then snapped a plastic bullet into the top of the case. When the hammer of the gun struck the case, that then was enough to dislodge the bullet, and th spring then propelled it out the barrel.
And on top of all of that, I also got a full cowboy suit to wear, complete with hat and boots.
In any event, just look at how I have now ended up!
In contrast, when I got my son a Winchester 73 toy rifle for Christmas at about the same age, my ex-wife threw the toy out after only two weeks, because she said that he was shooting people with it. His toy did not even actually fire anything, too.
I do have a hunting friend who is older than I who told me a story once about how his parents absolutely abhorred guns, and how they never let him have any toy guns to play with. Not even a squirt gun. So he went around pretending that he had a gun while playing with other boys, either just using his hand, or sometimes holding a long piece of wood or metal.
Once he graduated from Medical school, and was no longer financially reliant on his parents at all, he then proceeded to buy all of the guns that he wanted. He now is a very knowledgeable Deer hunter ( he has bagged a deer almost every season for over 40 years ), and a more than average shot with a handgun too. He ended up becoming a Republican, and is even a member of the JPFO.
He is now retired from psychiatry, and no longer works with the mentally ill and disturbed.
