<blockquote> These things would leave a monster welt and there was no question if you had indeed been shot/killed!!!</blockquote><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);" size="4">Yeah, back in the good ol' days when kids could play together, hurt each other, and still havefun without running inside to tattle on each other every five minutes. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eyes.gif" alt="image"><br><br><br>~Karen</font>

Would any of you really want to go back to any time in the past?? Not me, not at all... I'm happy with who I am and where I'm at... these are the goodol' days!

I grew up (debateable) in the ghettos of Cincinnati. Those were some of the best days of my life but I wouldn't want to go back there.<br>The only way I would go back if is I knew then what I know now.<br><br>Tim

The kids nowaday are using real guns, with no remorse.

This might be a good place to ask: What was the toy gun (from the late '70s, early '80s thereabouts) that was banned because of the noise it made whenfired? I think one of my friends back then had one; it made this loud WHONNGG sound. It was way too noisy and thought to be harmful to eardrums or something...

I'm still tryin to find pieces to rebuild my old Johhny-Seven .<br>Now that was cool.<br><br>Rifle.<br>Built in pistol.<br>Grenade launcher.<br>Rocket launcher<br>Bi-pod.<br>Removeable stock.<br>It made a racket like that of Machine gun fire .<br><br>F.

I used to have one of those M16s as a kid, man I loved that thing! ahhh how times have changed!

Yes- times have changed... a local cop told me that gangs are painting the tips of REAL guns orange, so they can get the drop on cops... sad, sad world...

I say, if a gun is pointed at another individual,they have the right to defend themselves from the perceived threat. Cop or not, no matter what color the gun (or gun tip) is painted.<br><br>Just my evil little $.02 <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/devil.gif" alt="image"><br>
