I’ve traveled to 49 nations now and everywhere you see mostly American movies playing as they are most popular. Gamers are just as numerous in Japan, Australia, and elsewhere as they are in the USA but they don’t seem to have a problem with gun violence. Maybe such low gun deaths elsewhere is because the rest of the world ‘s nations have gun control measures in place. Born before WWII, my earliest memories are playing “Japs and Germans” where we children used our homemade rifles to play war games. They were most often fashioned from broom handles, nails for triggers and sights, etc., as there were no metal toys to be found and the newly invented plastics hadn’t arrived on the market to be used in toys and housewares. After the war, we boys wore holsters with steel cap pistols everywhere so we could play “Cowboys and Indians” so for several more years we continued playing “killing games” (sometimes with the “lethal” Red Ryder B-B rifle!). When school let out in the early 50’s afternoons and our homes began filling up with their first television sets, we watched Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Cisco Kid, Hopalong Cassidy and Sky King taking out the “bad guys” until dinner time. However, many of us didn’t even grow up to become hunters. I have a shotgun in my home but not sure it works anymore as its been collecting dust for decades. It was my grandfather’s so is more of an heirloom now.
