    I love it. This brings back many memories for me. In the 1950s, Roy owned the major part of the Yellow Jacket boat company and I had the great honor at the ripe age of 14 (this is some 60 years ago) racing his boats (he kept the trophies) and going on camping trips in Southern California where he would run the boat as a bunch of us would water ski behind him. He was a fine man, and I have thought of him over the years. Thank you for point this video out.

    WHOA!
    When I was a kid I would have bartered my soul for that hat. Mom is right, we'll never see the like again. We are to live in a world of woosies. Even the movies turned the Lone Ranger into a wimp. It makes me want to slap certain people upside the head and shout get real!

    The only thing this would accomplish is suicide by cop.

      is suicide by cop the same as suicide by gynecologist. No. One gets a choice the other doesn't. One is dead before another breath can be drawn the other is dead before it get s a chance to draw breath number one. Don't start with cop crap again. The statistics haven't changed no matter what the seig heilers working for the Guardian say. One percent in all categories of crime of total police and One percent in all categories of crime in general population.I'm willing to bet more are executed by late term abortion than street crime in total. General population or cops.

        No one is executed in an abortion.

          Let's see. Seconds before full birth with part of the body out of the womb the back of the skull is exposed and a set of surgical shears is thrust up into the brain cavity and brain is sliced and diced. Had it been premature full 100% chance of living so it's not a fetus but citizen. No arrest warrant, no trial, no lawyer just some sick asshole professional killer. Sometimes the head crowns first and the baby is forcibly kept in the birth canal until the deed is done. I'm a 100% supporter of abortion of fetus. First two trimesters give plenty of time for that decision. What I am not for is what many of us were accused of infanticide and slaughtering babies that cannot defend themselves. So explain to me' Who are the real baby killers? Is our society that sick? Hell even the Chinese do a syringe full of formaldehyde through the soft spot. But mince meat the brain with surgical shears??? What do you call it if not execution. Murder? That works for me. Six months to make a decision and wow I can't get in my prom dress. There is no excuse for baby killing it's against the rules of warfare but infanticide is apparently perfectly acceptable within the rules of society that doesn't want to execute a convicted murderer or shoot bambi or cut up hog for ham. But kill a little kid no problem. Hippocratic. excuse me Hypocrites Oath. Give them a trial? Why? Give them the same punishment. No one is executed in late term abortion? Perhaps I was too polite. The word is murdered. I still believe that more citizens are killed by late term abortion than any other form of killing and Doctors that perform the murder are a greater percentage of their population than are police of theirs. So sue me.

              The one I described is called cranial decompression the u tube reference shows the procedure and how much of the child is outside the womb and uterine canal at the time.

              however late term or partial birth abortions appear to have been banned by fedeeral law cited below.

              Most say leave it up to the states except for the viability definition it appears that has been upheld.

              Most medical communities establish 24 weeks gestation, the later part of the second trimester, as the earliest time of viability. Therefore, the availability of any procedure used in the third trimester is based on the laws of that state.

              The procedures that can be done in the third trimester include:

              Induction Abortion: a rarely done surgical procedure where salt water, urea, or potassium chloride is injected into the amniotic sac; prostaglandins are inserted into the vagina and pitocin is injected intravenously.


              Dilation and Extraction: a surgical abortion procedure used to terminate a pregnancy after 21 weeks of gestation. This procedure is also known as D & X, Intact D & X, Intrauterine Cranial Decompression and Partial Birth Abortion.

    I saw Roy Rogers a little bit on TV when I was lit-
    tle, but not much. But I do remember a "Rifleman"
    episode when I was (I think) about twelve, when a
    boy was accidentally killed with a gun; the "Rifle-
    man (Lucas McCain, played by Chuck Connors)'s son, Mark, wouldn't have anything to
    do with guns for almost the rest of the episode,
    but in the end realized he had been blaming the
    rifle, instead of its operator. A good lesson a-
    bout the gun control debate, a few years ahead
    of its time.

      Met The Rifleman at several gunshows in Reno. His eyesight was going at the time. When ;asked if he was going to act again he responded 'doubtful and recounted the numbe of scripts that he felt were too far to the R side of he equation and had no bearing with the reality of history. Deadwood which for me lasted five minutes and fifty F words was an example. That was back in the early nineties. Obviously needing the eye operation I had the feeling he couldn't afford it, wouldn't take charity form the government and his easy way out doing cameo appearances was too X rates a choice. I often wish he had been offered something in Back To The Future - the old west version.

    I grew up watching Roy Rogers with my Grandpa, who even took me to see Gene Autry in person. Gramps would come to our house with six guns and holsters like Dale or Roy had for me. None of my friends became criminals either. Roy was mild mannered and polite, those were values he encouraged in his viewers. Even today I have a photo of Roy and Trigger on the wall, and a collection, of dastardly six shooters which have a pop out knife instead of bullets - one for Roy, Gene, and several other cowboys of the era.Today they blame guns, but the cowboys of that era taught cowboy values: love of country, respect for women, honesty. How many parents who object to kids playing with toy guns teach their kids those values? It makes me sick how far we have fallen, and how stupid people are today.

    As I recall they had a belt buckle had a swing out Darenger. You just pushed your gut out and boom you did that dastardly dude in. Remember caps?

      I remember caps. Then they invented these red rings of little plastic cups that worked in a toy revolver. Very loud, and much more reliable than caps, but expensive. I really liked my little air-cork pop guns when I was very young. Think they were pump action. They stopped making them when I got a little older I think. Probably to save us from the violent cork projectiles.

      Someone invented a similar thing made from PVC pipe and fittings that shot miniature marshmallows a few years ago. I got my kids those. They had a ball.

    And, I would be willing to bet, more people have died and been seriously injured in the last few years by the use of cellphones and texting, than all of the deaths and injuries caused by toy guns over a much longer period. When will the be banned?

    I remember my Roy Rogers Six-Shooters, I even had the holsters, the belt, and even the hat. Funny though, I sure don’t remember the hidden pistol in the hat commercial, or for sure I would have had one of those too. I wonder where my killer toys went, I don’t remember ever giving them away. I even played war games too, but of course we all had a different set of war weapons when we played. It was a sin to play war games with Cowboy toys.

    One of the weirdest things is that I didn’t turn out to be a criminal or a mass murderer because I played with toy weapons for many years, and I don’t know of any of my friends that did either. We must have been some kind of special, or perhaps just exceptions to the new rules and mandated guidelines of today. Perhaps our brains were bigger than brains today, I just don’t have an explanation for it. However, in all honesty I must admit I actually did shoot a few people, and “shot at” a whole lot more of them. In fact, with the tools I had at my disposal I’m actually partially responsible for killing perhaps thousands of people. At least their deaths were the results of my commands. Was this because I played with these awful weapons as a kid? No, I think it was more because I was the Executive Officer of an 8” Howitzer and 175mm Gun Battery, and I gave the commands and the orders for fire missions. That was not because I played with guns as a kid, but because of the orders of my government when they sent me to Vietnam. And it was a long time after I had already given up my Roy Rogers Six-Shooters, even gave up my war toys a few years back. This to me shows the government is perhaps a lot more dangerous than the toys we played with. Actually the toys might have given me more incentive to go to Vietnam at that stage of my life, for my country, rather than relocating to Canada.

    I think we also learned from experience while playing with these toys that we could get hurt and sometimes even hurt our friends. Taking them away, the youth of today only has real weapons to learn from, and real ones are much less forgiving than the toys. There are no take backs or sorry’ s. Taking away these toy weapons gives children a much better opportunity to stop wasting their youth playing with toy weapons and allows them more time to be really productive, and actually make a little money on the side, selling drugs and robbing businesses. Also not having any experience playing with toy guns, it gets them much more adrenalin and greater interest when they find a real one. My grandchildren all played with toy guns, and then they were trained in the use of real ones. Today they would not even think about the loaded gun laying on dad’s dresser unless they actually needed it. At least they would know how to use one should it ever be needed.

    Those are just my opinions, I could be wrong.

    Well, that was sickening. That's from a time when Indians were the bad guys and killing was the fun game to play. Interesting relic of our culture and some bad memes.

    Like so many other things we grew up, which the left decided was not "politically correct". Brings back such great memories. Ah well.
