Dick Tracy Snub Nose 38 - 1950s Mattel Toy Commercial

Back when guns were fun!
Crosswordssays...

And now all toy guns have to be neon pink so real cops don't shoot down kids playing cops and robbers.

Hell I remember playing down by the bayou by my house when I was a kid. Some nosy, paranoid, and obviously legally blind neighbor called the cops and told them we had guns and were shooting things. Next thing my friend I know is there's a bunch of cops creeping around trying to circle us, until one cautiously comes out and asks where our guns were. Explained we had no guns, he told us about the neighbor, and asked what we had. We said stick, and I showed him the one I was quite plainly carrying. They seemed satisfied at that, but told us not to play around the bayou (as if, that was one of the best places to play as a kid). I shudder to think what would have happened if we had realistic looking plastic guns.

...and that concludes my trip down memory lane.
