I have pictures of me in a diaper with a toy six gun and holster and cowboy hat. They say I had them on all the time. My sisters son is a couple years younger than my boy. When theyd visit my nephew always wanting to play with my kids nerf guns and squirt guns. He wasnt allowed to have any toy guns and they had no TV in their house. She finally relented and let the boys play, but they were never allowed to shoot people. Robots or monsters were ok, so thats how they designed their games. Neither of them have any violent tendencies, but both nowadays own air-soft guns. I think you just have to be a good influence on kids. I have several guns. Ive ever shot one in front of my son. When he was about 10 or 12 I had a revolver I decided to sell. I showed it to him just so hed know what a real gun looks like. He wouldnt even touch it.
