Have you seen the 1957 Disney film Old Yeller?

[AlongCameJones]

There were two young boys in a late 1800's homestead with an unlocked gun kept over the door loaded at all times. Neither of the Coates brothers went on a killing spree. Of course, there were no shoot-em-up arcade games back in the Old West to corrupt young innocent minds.

Is it just that modern American culture is "not safe" to have children and guns mixing? What has changed since the Old West? There is a lot of criticism from the Left about getting minors involved with guns and shooting sports. Some think that long guns "are OK" for minors but not handguns.

Old Yeller and Red Fern are great movies. It’s too bad movies like that won’t sell today.
