Yep, remember when my momma told me that. Got a Super Soaker with pride 
Low key disrespectful his name isn't in the title of the thread or the video,
Name is Lonnie Johnson
I appreciate the fact that he got rich of these inventions too. Too many black inventors that ended making some white person rich.
Net worth is 200 million, the entire water gun and nerf gun industry combined is less than a billion today, so it seems like he was fairly compensated too.

We gonna just leave out the part where some parents didn't allow their kids to play with you toy guns? Like my cousin whose BD was murdered by gunfire so she made sure to tell everyone toy guns aren't allowed in her house.
My dad only bought us them lil cheap squirt guns they sold in the toy section at dollar treesNever got to enjoy a super soaker. All I had was the beach and water balloons
i can understand the gun shaped ones, but yall couldn't even play the water squirters.
I forget what they were called but they looked sort of like this.

I remember these. My little trigger finger would wear out too fast, so I stuck with the balloons

Ask post #8. He said it before I called it.
I do remember this, but with my mom she was more concerned with those BB guns. In my little neighborhood the kids could play with the plastic guns, just not outside the neighborhood or near gang territory. Also, pointing it at people we don't know.
Nah, I meant i was asking if "Toy Guns" includes anything that squirts water even if it doesn't resemble a gun.
What i posted is literally just a siphon pump redesigned as a toy.
