Boomers, do you remember the military toys of the 50s - 60s?

The creation of the 'culture' took a long time in the making, but statistics on mass murder and mass shootings has been established to last for decades more.

There's no evidence or reliable study that shows with any degree of certainty that these types of toys caused anyone to grow up into a mass murderer
any more than there is evidence that playing with an EZ BAKE OVEN would lead one to open a chain of bakeries.

I got a "Defender Dan" belt feed machine gun for Christmas when I was about 6. It was bad ass! Somehow, I did not grow up to be a mass murderer.

I used to like the parachute man and the water rockets.

We did some Estes stuff, too.

Oh, and I used to "nail" shotgun shells to sapling oaks then get back and pop the primer with my .22.

Done right, with the right tree, it'll blow the whole top out of it.

Oh yeah, and never shoot a bulletproof windshield you found out in the woods and think it isn't.

It is, and it will bounce back at you.
