The Uzi

I remember when The Uzi was Everyones Gun Of Choice. it was the most talked about gun in Elementary school. Why? because it was Used in Every early 80's and 90's Film in relation to Anything. Movies like Scarface, Who Framed Roger rabbit, Malcolm X and Dick Tracy (and even the Dick Tracy Cartoon) was known for the Usage of the Uzi.

Oddly Enough there were the Water Gun Mimics which were hot in the streets when i was growing up. Kids would get killed over them because Even though they were plastic, They looked like the real deal. Why? because the Shell had no Orange/red Tip to let people know it was Fake. therefore Kids got Killed if pointing at the wrong person. I remember the Water guns which had a special color effect when you pull the trigger. The Water would shoot either Red or green and leave The Colored Stain on your clothes. after a while the stain would turn clear though. Those Guns Didnt last long because the Super Soaker came in to play. Other water skeeter were out of style after that.

To Own an Uzi in the Hood you had to be some kind of Murderer or something because that was a Killers Choice, Just based on Those movies you can tell. Those times were All About Machine Guns. I've seen a few real ones before but it just makes me laugh to think of the fact that it was Talked about amongst Everybody. The sad part is that It caused lots of Lives to be lost. I don't own a gun and I hopefully will never Need to own one. thats not a good thing. Maybe a paint-ball gun. but no Real ones.

Just seeing and thinking of the Gun makes me want to watch the Malcolm X Movie.
