Thats fine-ish .... its the idea of giving you kid a replica of something really

I'd guess the rate of kids that play with fake guns and then turn into murderers

What's that kid going to do if he DOES NOT own a realistic toy gun?

Maybe the child wouldn't grab it and "pretend" to shoot whoever is nearest?

Maybe if you took guns out of all books, movies, shows, games, video games, etc.
