The Sears catalogue contained more than BB guns. I used to check it out each year as a child in hopes of Christmas gifts.
So tell me where do we see ads today with children being given BB or real rifles as gifts in a family setting. It used to be common -- what happened to the good old days. Of course, this was back at a time where our high school in suburban Long Island had both a riflery (22s) and archery team. Those days are long gone.
