      @BethanyBowra @Slate I grew up watching Looney Tunes, had guns in the house, and never went and shot anyone. Go figure

      @mikejunemusic You blame the @NRA for someone believing if you shoot a duck in the face, his bill will spin around his head? Those bastards!

      @Slate @vpm Startling-yes.Makes you wonder-how were kids that watched those "old" cartoons able to separate make believe and reality?

      @DawnF_PBPost we managed. maybe because it was so silly/unrealistic looking?

      @vpm That must be a reason. It was entertainment, not something we participated in.
