Can you imagine the uproar?? Great gun Ad

[Docneeley]

I got this along with a bunch of 'ads you'll never see again' items. I love lemon squeezers so I had to post this here.
Can you imagine the furor? Very funny.

I love that ad
I had two IverJohnson revolvers and i can ashure you that
accidental discharge is almost imposible,
the trigge pull is not of this world.

I get cramp in my arm by just thinking about it

I wish someone would publish a book of gun ads from the first half of the 20th century. There are a lot of good ones! There is one from the late '20s I have somewhere showing a couple traveling in Cairo and this sinister looking beggar leering at them, but the guy is feeling okay 'cause he's packin' his S&W....

I love it! After that guy killed those kids in Stockton Ca. and really started the so called "assault weapons" ban, I was at a gun show and a guy was selling bullet proof vests. He had kid size ones, too with a sign saying "Back to school special!".

Murder rate in late 1800's not so bad!

It appears that returning to the murder rate of the old "Wild West" would be an improvement in some areas!:

You don't even have to go back that far. In 1964 it was legal to sell long guns mail with no paperwork required. The month following JFK's assassination one of the mail order companies came out with "The Presidential Model", which put an end to no-paperwork gun sales.

If papa says it wont hurt us, it must me true. Why argue with logic? I love it.
