I have never allowed my children to play with any toys that are violent inlcuding knives, toy bombs, guns, ans swards. I feel if they can play with them for fun they may not understand the difference and the harm a real one can cause. I believe even when shown kids are not mature enough to honestly know the difference.
I came across this artical in which a child who is 6 is suspended from school for bringing a toy gun to school. I pasted part of it... I don't know how to hyperlink.
First-Grader Suspended Over Plastic Squirt Gun
School District Says Policy Prohibits Exceptions
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Missouri mother is angry that her first-grader was suspended from school over a plastic toy gun.
"I asked her, 'You're going to suspend my son for 10 days for this? He cannot harm a soul with this,'" said Danielle Womack, whose son, Tawann Caskey, was suspended from Milton Moore Elementary School in Kansas City.
Tawann was suspended over a 2-inch plastic squirt gun.
