You probably don't want your speakers turned up for this one: The kills of the Rifleman.
It wasn't the kids who grew up watching Lucas McCain gunning down half of the population of the New Mexico Territory who ended up shooting up schools.

Even outgunned a Gatling...
Don't forget; Rawhide, The Rebel, Wanted Dead or Alive, Have Gun Will Travel and a bunch of others. These guys protected the innocent and the weak. Even Paladin who was a 'Soldier of Fortune' would sometimes turn if it was a bad guy that hired him. They only shot the villains. Never the good guys. I grew up with Paladin and his "one ounce" trigger pull. Way to go!

Good one...
I saw him get Jack Elam, Claude Akins and Lee Van Cleef in those clips. Not bad at all.
I was pondering the other day that the generation before mine was self reliant. Their heros were self reliant, like Sam Spade, they knew their way around a gun and did not run screaming away form the sight. My generation saw guns in the hands of the police and saw them as heros that could shoot the gun from the hand of the bad guy and WOULD come to your aid and defense. No wonder our expectations fail on contact with reality.
