[quote=Anonymous]When my girls were little this wasn't an issue and I wouldn't have bought them anything gun-related. At some point, they discovered Nerf guns and they loved them, so we did end up buying them. I wouldn't encourage gun play but I also don't necessarily think banning it entirely is the right way to go. I grew up in a rural place where deer-hunting actually provided families with food for the winter. It's not (in my opinion) a black or white issue. That being said - I've never held a gun and wouldn't allow a real one in my home. I think it is important for kids to eventually, when they are developmentally ready, understand the wide range of gun-related activities and implications. It's pretty complex. [/quote]
