Article- toy guns are OK

[stargazer763]

I recently saw a plastic toy gun in the sand at a park. Scared the shit out of me. No toy guns for G. I'll deal with squirt guns as he gets older, but definitely make a point that they are for water and for play.

If you want examples of what toy guns look like these days, here's a good representative sampling.

thelorax they showed that iphone holder on the Today show yesterday. Dumb as fuck. How did that get made???

The family we are visiting next week includes an uncle in law enforcement. Thanks for reminding me to ask him if his gun is properly stored while we are there.

It may be hypocritical but I view squirt guns completely separately from toy guns. I am not in favor of toy guys that look like weapons for killing bad guys. H has a paintball gun he hasn't used in probably 7 years. Our kids will not be exposed to a paintball range (field?) until at least 10 years old. I do not like, or see the point of, airsoft guns at all (again...probably hypocritical). Laser tag can be fun but again, I would like them to wait until they are at least 10. I am not sure if this is realistic as far as the birthday party scene goes.

I'm totally rambling.

Dear jeebus they have dart guns designed to look like M16s and AK47s.

I need to go hit my head against the wall for a few minutes...
