Oh, dear...
United States --(Ammoland.com)- Almost every morning the Disney Channel runs shortened versions of their "golden oldies" between some of their modern day cartoons as a way to fill time until the next scheduled show begins.
One morning recently my kids were watching the Disney Channel when they featured an old Mickey Mouse classic called "Mickey's Parrot" which was originally released back on September 09, 1938.
In this episode, a parrot belonging to an escaped killer wanders into Mickey's basement. Mickey hears it talking and thinks that the parrot is the killer who is on the loose who he just heard about on the radio. Mickey then goes and grabs his double barreled shotgun off of the wall and prepares to defend himself.
Well, wouldn't you know it... in the version they presented on the Disney Channel the other day, they had digitally removed the shotgun and replaced it with a broom. Yes, Mickey grabbed a broom off of the gun rack, shouldered it, and prepared to defend himself with his handy, dandy tactical... broom.

What is the point of rules that are not enforced?
