As Seen In the Flea Market

Every time I am at the flea market I see something so incredible, so mind-bending and so utterly inexplicable that I take a picture. 

Thus:

Yes, boys and girls, just what you've always wanted: A Battery Operated Gun.  Note, if you will, the tag line: "GIVE CHILDREN THE BEST GIFTS."

WTF IS this thing anyway?  A propaganda piece for the NRA?  An evil Chinese toy menace? It was $3 at the flea market, at the "dollar" store, which roughly translated means "everything costs a derivation of a dollar, some one, some five, some three, some two for a dollar."

I saw this in the bin and HAD to take a picture of it.  HAD to.  I mean, really,  if you see a toy gun labeled "give children the best gifts," wouldn't you have to take a picture of it too?

Flea Markets are an endless supply of stuff you may want, coupled with stuff you can't imagine anyone buying and stuff that defies all explanation.  This jewel was found at "Fleamasters" in Fort Myers, which is 400,000 square feet and 900 stores worth of flea market hell, er, bliss.
