Never Too Young to Be A Gun-Toting American

Comedy

It’s no wonder that Americans love their guns. Aside from the fact that the second amendment is the right to bear arms, back in the day, advertisements had kids thinking that owning a gun was just like having a toy. Just take a look at this Winchester ad. It says “Start him right – right now! There’s a Winchester 22 for every purse and purpose.” Of course it makes you wonder what purpose a kid would have to need a huge rifle, but hey, apparently it was the norm back then. Never mind that the kid looks a tad bit frightened by the prospect.
