Fascinating! Clips from 2 shows where old Alfred H. dealt with firearms dangers and gun control back in the 50's
Quote:


For those in a more macabre mood, however, there’s always the epilogue to the 1956 episode “A Bullet for Baldwin,” in which Hitch brandishes a large handgun. “It’s an amazingly simple device,” he deadpans. “An idiot can operate it. And indeed, many do.”

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


“It’s an amazingly simple device,” he deadpans. “An idiot can operate it. And indeed, many do.”

Prize for first giggle of the morning...

Go you crazy old coot! Never liked Hitch, but never doubted his talent or his intelligence.
