This is the belt buckle gun. What They Were Thinking, Maybe: "Pffffft! Sure, there are cap guns. And then there are cap guns that are fashion accessories that whip out a groin pistol and fire an unanticipated blast that shoots out an actual 'SAFE SHOOTIN' SHELL ®' when you thrust your hips!" It's really too bad that putting a mechanical device that ignites gun powder near a kid's crotch became a toy, because the thought of some lil' pretend sheriff layin' down the law and keepin' the peace by air humping a shot at the bad guys...well, you know. Did you ever own one of these?

The name says it all, but I will disclose that this kit had actual uranium included. To top that off, it was not banned but was discontinued due to slow sales. It was called The Atomic Energy Lab. Did you ever own one of these?

What They Were Thinking, Maybe: "Since we're already selling kids an extremely poisonous and explosive chemistry set and have plans for a molten lead kit, gosh darn it, let's offer them a way they can blow their own glass!" Simply place fragile glass tubes in a kid's mouth and have them hold their face over flaming 200 proof grain alcohol, turning the glass into molten slugs they can bend and shape to their little heart's delight. What's not to love? I know we've gotten a little soft these days, but were kids genius superheroes a hundred years or so ago? But, seriously, what were they thinking... Did you ever own one of these?
