[ARCHIVED THREAD] - are toy guns still around????

Posted: 8/26/2004 1:21:48 PM EDT

I went into Toys R Us for my nephew the other day to buy a toy gun for him. Nothing. So, then I went into Kay B toys. Nothing. WTF?? When I was a kid, my friends and I had a shitload of machine guns, pistols and rifles that we'd play army with. We'd dress up in camoflauge, get our guns and go across the street into the cornfields and woods to play. That's what boys did, the toughed it out and played manly games. Does anyone make or carry these things anymore?? Or has this freakin country finally gone extreme PC?? Somebody help.

In some states there outlawed,

Only guns I think you can get now are airsoft and water.

Toy r us and KBEE are EXTREAMLLY ANTI GUN!!!!!!!! No wonder you didn't find any. Try walmart or some other retail type store and you should find plenty. If not the funshows are usually covered up in them.

Do they still make cap guns? Like the revolvers you load with the red ring thingy and they go pop when you shoot them?

I see them at gun shows all the time. I picked up a toy AR for my daughter last year.

A number of people around here play with toy guns.

They even mix and match them with real guns.

Children who never have or even see a toy gun will never want a real one. It's for the Children!

Wow, Lumpy, you're quite the wet blanket. Not sure he meant airsoft, though.

If you find some, stash some up. My mother still has the ol' cowboy cap guns I used to play with as a kid. Found them while moving last week. The things were well loved (hence why I'm here).

parents and kids today are pussy whipped. I played with cap, and toy guns and never had a desire to go around killing people. (well most of them)
Blaming video games is bullshit too.

I'm changing my screen name to "Sunshine." Kinda catchy, eh?

"blowing sunshine" has an oddly disturbing ring to it - like it's coming out of your ass or something!

Man, I'm glad MY name isn't "Sunshine!"
