We used to have bb gun wars. How none of us got seriously injured I do not know but we shot one another with BB Guns. Imagine an unaccompanied kid with a gun today...folks would have a stroke

we’d get home from school or meet up on the weekend, yell “bye, I’m going to Kevin’s house” and boom everyone in the neighborhood grabs their bb pistol and gets on their bikes and you’re gone on your own at the age of 10-13 for hours with absolutely no identification and no way to contact you or any of your friends and no way to find you. A pack of 10-14 year old kids roaming the neighborhood and the levees and gas stations and fast food places with no supervision and no goals and no interruptions until eventually you’d just wander home. Sometime’s you’d all run to Mike’s house because his mom seemed to always be cooking enough food for 15 and their door was always open.

I have to imagine the number of parents that would let their kids do the above today is under 10%.
