“eh... why? Seems pointless. In my experiance kids without toy guns will turn leogs, sticks, brooms, hands, or just air into every manner of weapon system. Utterly pointless to deny them actual toys.

FRiend, maybe you should go and reread the title to this thread. Legos, sticks, brooms, and hands are much harder to mistake for a real gun, and much less likely to provoke such headlines. My kids don't play with toy guns that look like real ones, either. We don't “play” with real guns, either, although we do shoot, if not as frequently as I'd like. We don't play with cars, or skil saws, either. Anything that can kill or maim is not a toy.

I assume you don't let your kids have bikes or skate boards either. Or go to the pool, or ride in the car, or all the other things that are more likely to get them killed then having a gun that looks vaguely real.
