Buying our kids cap guns (dont think they sell those anymore), water pistols (these now come in high powered rifle version), nerf guns. Ive been guilty of that, myself.
Of course a six year old knows how to point a pistol.
Perhaps in some future age, toy guns will go the way of the candy cigarettes.
