Toy guns are bad but water guns are ok?

Seriously? This liberal soccer mom is a way too worried about something that is actually nothing..... the comments are fun to read too.

Toddlers With Toy Guns Scare Me

Without belittling the fact that the United States has a dramatically higher incident per person of gun-related deaths than any other country in the entire civilized world, I find myself wondering if my anxiety is misplaced when I think about the inevitability of my son picking up a toy gun in the near future.
While we wouldn't actually buy a toy gun (or would we? do water guns count?) the image of him grabbing a toy or using a stick to kill me dead is jarring for a peace-loving, anti-gun mom. Even though I know his playtime does not mean he will be joining a gang as soon as he can buy his own droopy pants.
But what does it mean?
