[Andy from Chapel Hill]

My two boys were forbidden from having toy guns or pointing any shooting device toward another person in "play".

Both, however, have won awards in rifle marksmanship and archery.

My boys and girls had toy guns, pointed them at each other in play, had great fun. They were also taught how to kill four legged and two legged quarry. My kids now love an opportunity to give a little "help" to a misguided Iraq terrorist. My brothers and sisters teethed on a revolver.

Similar story with my kids. Alas, now my son is a Marine. Go figure.

I, and every kid I knew, grew up playing with toy guns and pretend shooting each other. All the ones I have kept track of have become law abiding citizens. I have also won awards for shooting in both archery and handgun events, altho I am a little past my prime now. I don't think being allowed to play with toy guns in anyway contributes to people being criminals or serial killers. These Dimwits are full of it.

I was similarly not allowed gun toys or "bang bang" playing. I am now in law enforcement and serve as a firearms instructor and armorer. One of my last jobs before going into policework? Archery instructor at a Catholic boys camp
