scenario...your views?

[twinkles**stars]

How would you react to this scenario?

Driving along a road you see a young boy in school uniform on his way to school waving a gun and knife at passing traffic.

Would you ignore him or take steps to ensure the gun and knife are 'toys' and not the real deal?

Point being, toy guns are everywhere..., kids like to play with them.

Toy guns ARE NOT everywhere.. please give evidence of this.

If popular toy stores  (retail, bricks and mortar) generally  don't sell toys guns (excluding water ones), then children who visit these stores with their family.. won't see any there and won't be saying 'Muuuuuuuum  I want that gun'. How many under 18 yo's purchase items off eBay?. none. Will a parent purchase a toy gun off eBay if their child doesn't even know they exist or never asks for one?

I have bought them from Big w and toy r us, crazy clarks too.....oh yeah and the show bags........and no.....no paperwork to fill in either.

My children played with them, then got over it..... Toys are just that.   Toys.

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

When I see kids playing with them, I don't become hysterical.......

Kids have been playing with toy guns for generations, are you denying this?.....

[cherry*135]

Why are you always referring to paper work to fill in re toy/imitation guns? Do you live in VIC? That is the only place that has that law at present and only for toy guns that look like real ones.

No, but I would add .. generations in the PAST. Times and attiudes change. As I said earlier, toy guns were very common when I was a  child (except at my house!).  They were not that common when my kids were little 22-25 years ago.

Buying a kid a toy that they can hold up to another kids face and pretend to shoot them dead, is not something most parents encourabe.

The police in Australia  don't like imitiation guns because they have been used in armed hold ups and the person held up suffers just as bad afterwards as if it was a real gun, as they can't tell at the time that it wasn't real.
