And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I'm sure his sisters enjoyed being around little Bobby and his 500 shot cap gun
I don't remember if anyone I knew had one of those. What I do remember is we were frugal with our caps. Blowing off a 500 roll was reserved for special occasions. Even hammering on a 100 roll was a rare event.
I am so blessed to have been born at the right time to have enjoyed the little pleasures available to kids then. Even if our parents could not afford some of the toys, we usually knew someone that had them and would share. We also had something else that kids today don't have ....hope for the future.
You know, for a toy these cap guns look pretty realistic. the F-500 Fury was a bit fantasy, but the Mustang Peace Maker looks actual size of a real Colt Peace Maker. I remember those days well, and I agree with oldvet. I'm so glad I had a chance to enjoy those cool toys then. Wish I still had a few of them I had back then.
Tommy guns in outer space!!!
