Rod,
I did not imply that toy guns make killers. What concerns me about toy guns is the ability of the child to differentiate between the toy and the real McCoy. And also to know the difference in potential between the two. My father took great care in showing me the potential for harm of a firearm. How many children play with toy firearms who have never seen a real weapon? Then they are over at a friend's house and find one and boom. That is the scenario which concerns me.
