Just an inquiring mind. I do let mine play with water guns, but I'm wondering if it is a bad habit for them to get in to. Ya know, pointing guns at each other. What do you think?

We let our boys play with simple squirt guns, or the kind made of styrofoam, not the ones that look like machine guns though. I don't really want to encourage that kind of graphic violence. I know boys will be boys, but they really should know what they are doing in a way. We talk about what guns really do and how they hurt people. We talk about how its okay if you are killing an animal for food. I would like to raise a boy that isn't desensitized to guns and war and who can understand violence never solves anything.
