I understand your point, but by that logic my son will now thinks all cars and trucks are toys. I grew up with toy guns but I firmly learned that GUNS were not toys. It takes some effort to be a parent and teach childern the difference and right from wrong. Seems though alot of "parents" don't want spend the time. Not directed at ayone here, just society in general. Specifically the little slice of society that I am in contact with via my job. I think toy guns and real guns can co-exist if the parent will teach the child the difference and watch for inappropriate behavior with even a toy gun.

Just my .02 worht.
