You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

Editor's note --  The Gazette does not endorse a BB gun which is not an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle! 

And of course, pop culture has given us 

an indelible impression of the desirability of 

children’s guns during that period.

Editor's note -- (Update) The Gazette (presumptuously) assumes readers are aware that the featured quote is from the 1983 film classic A Christmas Story -- 
a traditional 24-hour block of Christmas programming on Turner Broadcasting Network (TBN).
