Growing up in South Florida in the 70s, a lot of kids had toy guns. It really wasn't a big deal. My parents even had hunting rifles and handguns, but I was taught that they were real and could be fatal. They had them locked in a safe. Later when I was 8, I had cap guns. When I was 10, I had a bb gun and was taught how to use it safely and responsibly. Things never got out of hand and I was out of my gun phase in a few months. Parents these days are irresponsible and have no relationship with their children. It's early and I'm complaining already, I know.
That's a great point and not complaining at all IMO. It's all about educating your children and not letting the TV do it for you.
Playing with toy guns is what being a kid is all about!
