When I was a kid, my dad made me fake TNT to use while playing army. PVC pipe painted red, black electrical tape on the ends.

It is a complete lack of common sense. Political correctness run amuck.

The more of this stuff I see the more I don't believe this^^^

Educators trying to demonize anything to do with guns.. Kids will grow up thinking guns are evil and bad..

...old story about a monkey getting hit cold water when he goes to the top of the stairs... he teaches other monkeys to not go up the stairs.. when he dies no one goes up the stairs ---- and no one knows why.

And in turn believe this ^^^

We did the same- except we didn't do TNT, we made fake C-4 out of a block of wood painted gray, and duct taped a broken Casio watch onto it and some fake wires from the watch to the wood...
