These type of things just crack me up. Kids for generations played with toy guns (and in many cases real guns) without growing up to be mass killers...

Yes...it was a joke that became a nickname. You know much of the story of my youth...some friends used to joke that if things didn't improve for me that they'd find me naked in a belltower shouting "I just want to LIVE!" while pulling the trigger of a sniper rifle. The nickname just evolved from there. :)
