What's wrong with toy guns?

I had all kind of toy guns and swords and shit.

And a massive army of toy soldiers. My grandpa's backyard looked like a damn WW1 trench system, with little trenches with green soldiers running in all directions. We also had 2 medieval castles, a apache fort, a burnt out mini-massada fortress, a vietnam style firebase hiden among my grandma's flowers, a farming kibbutz, a beduin camp, and a nuclear silo.

That was so much fun, dude.


I'd certainly be afraid of anyone's child ending up like you.

The German government is afraid if kids play with guns they will turn into killers.  Looking at how you turned out it is obvious that is simply not true.

Hmmmm...the 17 year old already had the gun illegally how does raising the age from 18 to 21 and adding a bunch of tests help prevent more 17 year olds from shooting people?
Don't even try to make sense of it. They're just playing to the Outrage, is all. Never mind that retroactive application of their "stricter rules" still wouldn't prevent the crime. :rolleyes:

What are you laughing about?

Valmy is right. I have never done a violent act against my fellow citizens.
I despise criminals and angry violent people.
I have zero tolerance for criminals and anti-social behavior.
I uphold the law and defend my country.

Clearly there is nothing to fear about toy guns.

I wouldn't be surprised if serial killers had a lonely infancy with no toy guns or toy soldiers.

Have anybody done a research on this?

Oh I forgot, it isn't murder if the government sanctions it. :rolleyes:

I am discovering that a lot of parents are not okay with their 3 year old kids playing toy gun type games.

Seems a hopeless thing to control. How do you stop a kid from pointing a finger and going "bang!"?

If I had a son and he did not play guns I would not be okay with it.  That would just be weird.

well. he can play "trucks". that's a more, um, peaceful alternative.

I totally agree to this. Paintball is just plain violent and encourages people to be violent.

Don't be ridiculous you hardly even have physical contact with anybody in paintball.

This strikes me as pretty lame.  Boys will be boys, and I'd rather they play around with paintball guns than the real thing.  I fail to understand the supposed linkage between paintballers and the homicidal dorks that actually kill people.
