Kids playing with 'guns'??

[AnyDream]

"Guns don't kill people. People kill people."

But guns make it an awful lot easier for people to kill people in circumstances where the absence of a gun would leave them no means to do so.

The difference between swords and guns is that swords can be used for friendly sword play but a bullet in a gun pointed at a person is going to maim or kill, every time it is deployed.

Having said that I don't allow any type of suggested violence in play - gun or otherwise. To me it's about teaching respect for human life which is our most precious gift.
