Im a bit of a radical but hear me out. What if instead of having toy guns we had kids “play” at planting a community garden, mowing lawns for the elderly and handicapped, and picking up litter at the local park? Nah, teaching children guns are toys is the obvious way to go. Or ya know, fuck guns, real or fake.
Do you honestly think that kids need a molded plastic or stamped metal toy gun to “play with guns”? Have you never seen kids pick up a “Y” shaped stick off the ground and say “bang bang!” or “zap zap!” pretending its a gun (or laser gun)?
Hey, in all fairness, I think Super Soaker water guns should get a free pass.
Aside from that, yeah it wouldn’t be a bad idea if they banned all those toy guns, especially the ones designed to resemble real guns.
Personally I’d rather they banned the real ones and left the toys

So work instead of play?
Fair enough, good point.
That’s still not gonna get rid of all the guns already out in the wild though.

Neither option is gonna fix the problem. Guns, both real and toy, are already out there en masse.
Figure out a solution to that issue, then come talk to me. In the meantime, people wanna defend themselves.
Disclaimer: I’m not an advocate for guns. I never have been. Just saying, guns exist already, both real and toy.
