For those of us who grew up in earlier generations, we thought nothing of buying and using guns as kids. Now, if a child so much as brings a paper drawing of a gun to school, they can be suspended or expelled. Younger people today would not believe this Mattel commercial advertising a child shooting a gun at a bad guy.

FlyHeight ran the commercial, below.

It’s unfortunate that something humorous like this well-done commercial is no longer allowed in society. It is even more ridiculous when you consider all the guns – some used by children – in liberal Hollywood’s movies.
