"Papa says it won't hurt us" and "Accidental discharge impossible" were taglines used byIver Johnson Arms to sell a gun that they seemingly wanted your children to play with. This advertisement forIver Johnson revolvers, circa 1904, made no bones about the deadliness of the weapons, but claimed its "hammerless automatic" model was safe enough to be used as a child's toy (because we all know that they don't like pulling triggers).
Iver Johnson handguns were used to assassinate President William McKinley in 1901 and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.
