The kid's carrying what? One of those little Mattel guns? They actually had cartridges and you had to change mags and operate them?
That's it, first one I've seen outside the commercials of the era...wanted one so badly too. Then I had to settle for the real thing...

wanted one too!
Pretty game wandering around with what appears to be a real weapon in a riot zone not sure I would want to do that sorta stuff, kid or no kid we have seen even young ones can be perpetrators.
Back then and even the thirty some years ago of my youth kids carrying around and playing with toy guns raised absolutely zero concern. Even though they were scaled down versions of the real thing you could tell if it was a toy or not. Long gone are those days. Now if a kid makes his peanut butter and jelly sandwich look like a pistol he's suspended.Quote:
