Why toy guns are not good for children

Toy Guns: "A child learns lots of things through play. Play is the best method that a child uses to learn about the world around us and to develop new skills. Imagine now what will a child learn by playing with toy guns� Do this, think about it for a few seconds Not a pleasant picture, is it? That's what I though. Children love to play with toy guns, because they can pretend to be super heroes, fighting the evil. But as a parent, you must not let your child play with them. Your child may get excited about a toy gun, but think about the children who live in places ravaged by civil war, where they can see guns being used to hurt people. They certainly are afraid of them, and by no means do they consider them great to play with. Even a simple water toy pistol can make them get scared, because they know what guns can do."
