What A powerful episode. So simply wrote, But so we'll done. And the ending was A shock to how emotional and caring thought. Iam so happy that I started listening to this show.
A gun for a 9 year old? What were they thinking? Maybe a 13 year old but not a 9 year old. And even with a 13 year old it would be tightly controlled. Gun kept under lock and key and only used with the father.
I understand why you think this in today's uber-Liberal un-American anti-gun climate, but back in the 1950s this episode was probably directed more towards gun safety, than anti-gun propaganda.

Can you imagine if that happened in this day and age? 😮
Type O blood, Did they not know about + and - back then ?
It really was Thursday on Dec 22, 1949, the original air date. So basically, they're saying "today...this happened today".
Joe said, "You don't give a kid a gun for Christmas." What a sad episode,
Don’t give guns, but give Fatima Long Cigarets for Christmas...

hahhahahaha they'll at least be there for Christmas... or a few of them hahahaha
😅🤣😂
Guns can kill in an instant cigarettes take decades.
@@jeremytung1632 Guns don't kill at all if you don't let them.
This is my second favorite otr episode . pail of air is number 1
The Wolf Sullivan Kidnapping was good but extremely sad
Yes, in the 1950s they kept kids safe from marijuana, but then handed them guns, booze and cigarettes. That's really keeping them safe.
NO !!! Check out Dragnet TV show from 1952 the episode "The Big Seventeen " , it will blow your mind !
Guy sounds like Woody Harrelson
Today they’d be going after the gun manufacturer; no rifle should fire just from being dropped.
Who did the visuals?
Unintentional firearm deaths by children are a huge problem in the USA, even today. :(
Intentional firearms deaths of children are probably a greater problem.
holey krapp i had to skip a bit when the man started crying. i wanted to punch my expensive monitor HAHAHAHAHAHA. no it made me very sad
This is such a sad Christmas show, and they used it over and over for years. I guess that, even then, guns were killing innocent children.
stupidity has been with us all a long time friend lol
Very Sad...
So he prayed that the other boy could be alive again. So much for the power of prayer!
You are a dipshit

I got a .22 when I was 7. It's not dangerous if you're taught to respect it.
I’m sorry I listened to this episode 😢
Why the hell would they let the dead boys father visit the other kid?!
That was my immediate thought as well. God knows what he could have done to him in anger with the cops right behind him.
Merry dead kid-smas

Dude, so cold!
propaganda garbage

This is from 1949. Propaganda against what exactly? Koreans?
@@michaelkingsbury4305 Anti-gun propaganda
@@730indoorsmananti gun propaganda in 1949 you’re kidding right. I take it you don’t know anything about the era.
No it’s not, it’s about having some common sense and the consequences when it’s lacking.
