Sounds reasonable to me. Thanks again for the links, Gun Bunny.

I did have a pea shooter – until I shot my brothers too many times. 😄

I used to go to the A&P grocery store and buy a bag of the dried peas and the lady at the cash register asked me if the peas were for my Mom or a pea shooter.

They were actually against the law in NYC when I was growing up in the late-70’s/early-80’s, but I still had a neighbor/friend who owned one.

Pea shooters were popular back in the 1950’s when I was growing up in Laurelton Queens NYC. I don’t think that they were agfainst the law back then.

I know, Right? *sigh* Will continue to search for and forward any that can be found. One would think that of all of the FGS Threads checked out, the Sunday one would have the most hits because of the Miss Thang’s that are a feature. Alas, not always to be.

A DRT dirtbag and a WRT dumbass taking the wrong weapon to a gunfight AND poor victim selection skilz. Just another day at the office, Dear.

The Patriots need a little self defense from the corrupt governance that is Joe Biden. FIFY

A young Gun Bunny got into some serious trouble when he used his older sister’s industrial strength Cross Your Heart Playtex Living Bra as a double barreled slingshot. Heh heh…Damn thing worked pretty good. He got into even more trouble when he commented that one of her female friend’s living bra died of starvation. Good Times!

The venerable sling shot can be useful when contacting BLM, Antifa and similar slime draggers.

Ball bearings are aerodynamic enough.

I use a slingshot like the one pictured daily.

Neighbor had 10 rabbits in an outdoor cage until she forgot to close and lock the door one night last fall. Now there are roughly 30 roaming around the area, digging holes in my yard, under my fence and tearing up both my vegetable and flower garden.

Her close friend that gave her the rabbits and who ran a “Rabbit Rescue” recently was raided by the county Sheriff and the Humane Society. They seized 225 rabbits in the home, a shed and a stand-alone garage living in poor conditions.

Rabbits is good eating, if you treat ‘em proper.

Only time the motherfucker says something that’s true, and he still doesn’t practice it.

In his defense, stringing those words together in that order was probably accidental.
