[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate them so no.  You never point any gun at any living thing.

But you do you. [/quote]

+1. Firearms safety instructor here.  You never point any real or toy firearm or facsimile of a firearm at any living thing.  Teach your children now. [/quote]

but how do you squirt people with water then?[/quote]

np here.  You don’t.  The above posters are correct.  My dad was an avid hunter and skeet shooter as well as a retired military officer.  We could own all the toy guns and water pistols we wanted but could NEVER aim them at another person or animal.  [/quote]
Both my husband and I are retired Marines.  He grew up hunting. And skeet shooting. We have several firearms in the house - lol locked away.
We have 2 boys - 10 & 13.  Both have shot “real” guns. Both know what to do when they see a gun not locked up. 
And they both play with water guns and nerf guns.  These guns all look like a toy. You know, neon green and yellow and orange. And they shoot each other with them. Face is off limits.
Kids can understand the difference between a toy gun and a real gun. It’s not a hard lesson to teach. Kids have been playing with toy guns for over a hundred years. The overwhelmingly did not turn into mass murderers.  [/quote]
