Jackson Jambalaya

I have the full set with the box at home. It is awesome. I only got i it out for the most serious games of cops and robbers.
I loved that gun. Somehow, I did not grow up to be a sadistic killer or even a hunter. We did establish the good guys and the bad guys and right or wrong when playing. Those lessons stayed with me. I must admit sometimes the “ copper” got shot in an ambush. There wasn’t enough crime in Jackson for the real police to even suspect it was anything other than kids having fun. We would also take the plug from the end of our BB guns so it would make a shotgun sound and roam around the neighborhood with them. Quality toy- thanks for the look back

LOL They'll put a kid in detention now if he points his index finger at someone.

7:20

Uhhh, yeah that's called a threat.

Millennial generation are the most offended people to walk the planet. Jerry Seinfeld says he quit touring college campuses due to hate mail for being offensive. Can you imaging Sanford and son on tv today. They would loose it. Or Archie bunker. Eddie Murphy also says comedy is impossible in today's generation. So yes these would cause one to need a safe space.

Best enjoyed with a candy cigarette dangling from your lips.

No orange tip...police would shoot.

What are you blubbering, er, blabbering about now Melvin?

@ 8:02, you are exactly right. "All in the Family" and "Sanford & Son" are two of the greatest sitcoms ever!! There is no way that the characters of Archie Bunker & Fred Sanford would ever be accepted in today's hyper-sensitive audience. At what point did everybody become so uptight?

In the 1950s and 60s we were not yet suffering the full side effects of the 19th Ammendment.

Today we are nearly terminal. Not too much longer before white patriarchy is full disenfranchised with no legal or civil rights.

@ 8:02 & 8:46

Both Sandford and Son and All on the Family were commercial successful pop culture and neither really were ever policially incorrect. They were written to actually mock politically incorrect ideas.

The only truly /pol/itically incorrect website on the Internet was created by a Millenial and is a hive of insightful and offensive content with free and open discussions of topics that Kingfish censors here.

And never forget that the majority of the problems today were compounded on by boomers and Gen X'ers who did nothing to right this sinking ship.

Thanks for the memories, Kingfish. Little boys still instinctively play with toy "guns", even if it's just a stick they pick up. Now where did I put my black face paint?

I'm a 65 year old female and played cops and robbers, Nazis and Americans, and a game with my brothers that we called "fall dead", the purpose of which was to see who could enact the most theatrically dramatic death when "shot" with toy guns. I had my own cap pistol and bugged my mom all the time to buy more rolls of caps for me at the dime store. My brothers also had real guns, starting with shotguns about age 12, which we used to squirrel hunt. We all had BB guns, and my older brother occasionally shot me in the rear end with his. I still have my old BB gun which is useful when stray dogs come into my yard. We made firecracker cannons with sections of lead pipe which shot gravel and small rocks which probably could have killed us if we had been hit. Brothers loved to play with cherry bombs and other heavy duty fireworks. Somehow we all grew up un-maimed, did not become killers, and developed a healthy respect for guns.

What has happened to people these days that kids cannot be allowed to use their imagination and common sense not to hurt each other?

8:01, seriously? I don't know on which planet you live, but if you consider someone pointing their index finger at you as a threat, I feel really sorry for you.

8:01

No, I feel sorry for you.

8:02. Everybody got “so uptight” when it became profitable/advantageous to be “offended”....

Trigggggggggggggggeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrddddddddd.

Where's my safe space, comfort dog, teddy bear, and hot cocoa (not coco).

Don't forget the "Fanner 50." https://youtu.be/xio0p4Fsbd8 I had one back in the day.

No one in my family owned guns. I learned marksmanship with Mattel firearms from watching Combat! and Dragnet.

My boys are teens now but played with toy guns for years, plus Nerf guns. They were constantly shooting each other.

Just reading these comments and has triggered me. I think I’m going to lock myself in the closet with a bunch of guns, some American and rebel flags, and fox news to make me feel safe again. All this talk of millennials has upset my tummy.
