Should toy manyfacturers be allowed to market realistic looking toy guns?

15. Talk about targeting the wrong problem.

You can have an issue with toy guns in general - we can all reasonably disagree about what what should or shouldn't be a toy to begin with. However, toy guns aren't the problem when it comes to getting kids shot. Kids were running around with every kind of relatively realistic looking gun under the sun, not to mention actual BB guns, without any of them getting shot by cops for decades. Now with the militarization of police, it's apparently acceptable to shoot down a kid with a toy. Rather than trying to legislate toys out of existence, it's our job to shut down this new mode of policing so that a kid with a plastic gun doesn't automatically have a target painted on his chest.
