[QUOTE="John6185, post: 2243757, member: 25679"] I remember when I could go to a store and walk out with a used 12 ga for $8.00. And here in Oklahoma I went to Otasco and bought a mil surp for $29.00. And as a kid I would read comic books and in the back was an ad that for $29.99 a guy could buy a mil surp rifle and it'd be shipped to my address. And we kids would trade guns almost as much as we traded comic books. And we'd carry bullets to grade school an mess with them during recess, how the neighbor kid took a piece of pipe and fit a .22 bullet in and hit it with a hammer and it would go off. The word "Long Tom" meant a long barreled shotgun and we all wanted a 10 gauge-we'd heard of one but never seen one. And the neighbor kid took the pellets out of a 12 ga shell and put steel bearings in and blew a hole in the bottom of a wash tub. None of us ever shot anyone nor did we go to jail or shoot ourselves, we were responsible-somewhat. [/QUOTE]
