Remember when we had no fear with our toys?

I wonder how many of these sold after seeing "RALPHIE" In a Christmas story, when nobody figured they were dangerous, for kids, back in the old days.

my boy got one of those for hist 8th birthday
there were a ton of kids around and i didnt think one BB gun would be enough, so i grabbed 3 or 4 more and told the kids to be careful

about half an hour later one of the kids comes in complaining about a headache and pain in her ear
sure enough, my wife took a look at her, grabbed a needle and pulled a BB out of her ear

that was the end of the BB guns for that day
