[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not ask a parent if they are ok with it rather than getting it and causing an issue?  I would not allow them in my home and if I find out my kid is playing with them in your home, they will not be going back.  Its not ok given the world we live in.[/quote]

In all seriousness, where do you live?  We live inside the beltway in Bethesda and all the boys have nerf guns.  I seriously don't know one family that bans them.  I'm curious where all these families live that say no to Nerf guns.[/quote]

I'm probably your neighbor (also Bethesda inside the beltway) and we don't allow them.  We have enough trouble with him whapping his sisters with other weaponry (eg the light saber that is almost always in quarantine).  I don't mind if he plays with them at other peoples houses.  I think it's a weird gift, given people's varying views on it--like giving a kid a pg-13 movie or something.  I'm not judging people that let their kids watch pg-13 movies, but I see it as a family choice that reasonable people can differ on.   [/quote]

A Nerf gun is not a PG-13 toy. [/quote]
