How 'bout this fear-of-everybody-else argument:
" There are big bad scary bullies out there, and some of them have BB guns. These bullies will beat you up, take your things, and even do terrible things to your little blond friend Mary if you don't defend against them. You need a Ride Rider BB Gun yourself, in fact lots of Red Rider BB guns for self defense against these bullies. Similarly your parents are always trying to control you and even take your BB guns away. You need bigger and better BB guns to keep your parents in check or in case you ever need to revolt against your parents. "
