I'm sure you're not alone but I've noticed that kids (boys in particular) will

We bought our son a tool set when he was 2. He pretended all the tools were guns

My son made a gun out of gerbil tubes in his online preschool game

I agree they will. But pretending with sticks or what not is different than

Ebolarama

i guess i don't see a lot of real looking gun play

fattycoug

1/26/15 3:51pm

Thats fine-ish .... its the idea of giving you kid a replica of something really

Ebolarama

1/26/15 3:53pm

I'd guess the rate of kids that play with fake guns and then turn into murderers

fattycoug

1/26/15 4:32pm

Yet somehow, that is statistically exactly what happens. Wonder why that is?

This is true. My great-nephew used ruler and other tools as guns when we babysat

Nope, still teaching kids bad habits. I mean, should you ever be

cougarick

No, never. I was thinking about this because my BIL (whose 11) came over

Hey, man--that's not a toy. That's the real thing!

Still not ideal but I'm more talking about this

I worry about the kids who don't play with guns

When I was a child, I did childish things. The criminal thing would be to allow

1/26/15 3:50pm

Yep, and when a kid that plays with a realistic gun finds a gun what he going to

Ebolarama

1/26/15 3:54pm

What's that kid going to do if he DOES NOT own a realistic toy gun?

1/26/15 3:58pm

Maybe the child wouldn't grab it and "pretend" to shoot whoever is nearest?

Ebolarama

1/26/15 4:00pm

Maybe if you took guns out of all books, movies, shows, games, video games, etc.

1/26/15 4:04pm

Its called parenting. You teach your kids the difference between play and

Ebolarama

My sister used to think like you do.

Gente_Boa

1/26/15 4:02pm

I do need to clarify, I'm only talking about very realistic looking toy guns.

Ebolarama

1/26/15 4:05pm

like this

1/26/15 5:26pm

what about this?

1/26/15 3:54pm

I trust my parenting enough to know when and how to teach my

PlanoCougar

1/26/15 3:55pm

Nerf guns and water guns are different than what I'm talking about.

Ebolarama

1/26/15 4:00pm

Not really. And I feel the same way about Airsoft and paintball guns, as long

PlanoCougar

1/26/15 4:11pm

How often does a child come across a live grenade?

Ebolarama

1/26/15 4:13pm

I would say less that 2%

1/26/15 5:28pm

I never let my kids play with toy guns, but I don't think it should be illegal

OpusX

1/26/15 3:56pm

Not only do my kids have toy guns, I also take them to the range to shoot real

workindev

1/26/15 3:58pm

Every kid should have a rifle? Why?

OpusX

1/26/15 4:07pm

Cannot think of a legitimate reason for a kid having a rifle.

Ebolarama

1/26/15 4:09pm

Ok, we get it. You don't like guns and don't advocate teaching

PlanoCougar

1/26/15 4:19pm

Never said they shouldn't shoot guns with their fathers. Thats a lot different

Ebolarama

1/26/15 4:20pm

And, yet, I'm fairly confident that the two go hand in hand for most

PlanoCougar

1/26/15 4:26pm

So you are sexist too?

TheHop

1/26/15 4:56pm

Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Ebolarama

1/27/15 9:19am

I can...Can you say SCHOLARSHIP?

TheHop

1/26/15 4:55pm

Because that is the best way for them to learn how to treat guns with respect

workindev

1/26/15 4:12pm

So they can shoot it, I trust my kids with guns more than any avg adult

Jericho

1/26/15 4:13pm

I've got no problem with that. I'm not saying kids should never have guns

OpusX

1/26/15 4:27pm

I think it goes without saying that when you say all kids should own guns

Jericho

1/26/15 4:42pm

There are lots of reasons, but one pertinent to this thread is that the best way
