I think I speak for all parents when I say , these days, toy guns are just as dangerous as real ones , anymore ! As police are killing them, too. Just like the poor 12 yr old in Ohio!!!
I would have to agree with Marcus. There is nothing dangerous about a gun, knife, sword, car, truck, other than the person operating/using it. Teach your children to respect the responsibility that goes with using these items - like Marcus said you may prevent a child from reaching their peak of sporting shooting, knife throwing, fencing ......................... you get the picture.
