The gun is a fake six-shooter. Not too many parents chance buying guns like this for their children today for fear they might be mistaken for a real gun with terrible results. |

The "Gun Control - LDub Speaks Out!" Story
It was an ordinary day. Hitting the keys on my MacBook Air while thinking exactly what I want to say without being too offensive or too defensive towards many of my readers.
Guess I should tell you that while a young boy I enjoyed playing with my six-shooter cap gun. Also went hunting with a 12-gauge shotgun a few times until I actually shot a rabbit and felt so bad that I had killed a defenseless animal that I gave up small-game hunting. Went deer hunting once, pulled out my white handkerchief to blow my nose and was shot at by another hunter. That was the end of that! Also coached the Manheim Township High School rifle team to a state championship before retiring due to hearing loss. Actually have a .22 caliber single-shot rifle and bullets in the cedar chest of my bedroom closet. Was a member of the NRA for quite a few years. So you see, I'm not against guns ... but, I never hunted with a automatic weapon or coached a shooter who used an automatic weapon that had a clip with multiple bullets or a magazine with 100 rounds. And, when our Second Amendment was written, our politicians were using muzzleloaders that held a single bullet and more than likely didn't realize that at one time in history there would be automatic weapons such as those that could hold 30 to 100 rounds. When John Browning developed the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) he did so for the military in WWI.
