Braap Braap! Vintage Toy Gun Ads

Since a mass shooting happened a block away from my house in Santa Monica, I feel justified in throwing my two cents into the gun control debate. A lot of people say (and legislate) that if teachers were armed, if drivers were armed, if all adults were armed (the “sane” ones, of course), less people would be victims of gun violence each year (?). But what is often failed to mention in the debate is that these people would all be obvious to a potential gunman on a rampage. We need to arm the people he would never expect — the kids. That’s right, if more elementary school age children were armed, we wouldn’t have the kind of gun violence we have seen in recent years. Just imagine — you are a crazy person, all paranoid about adults in society and government spying on you and trying to harm you — but you never suspect that kids are in on it, so on your way to high school, college, or your ex-wife’s business, you pass an elementary school. Some smart kid notices you acting funny, and decides to take the law into her own hands, and rips off a few hundred shots from her AR-15 (just the basic, kid-friendly consumer model, no law-breaking add-ons). That’s the end of that, just saved lives. I know that I would feel a lot safer if I knew the kids playing with my 2-year-old at the park were armed. Back in the day, people knew what was up – guns don’t hurt kids, they save kids, and they are fucking fun. Have a look through some of the vintage gun and toy gun ads below, and tell me that you don’t feel safer already.
