The gift-giving and gift-buying time of the year is here.
Do your children a favor and do not buy any toy guns for your children. These toy handguns and replicas of pistols and assault weapons look like the real thing. With all the bad stuff you see on television, the movies, etc., it's not smart to let your children have these real-looking toys. There are too many shootings in schools, malls, airports, you name it. The police are under pressure these days just taking care of drive-bys. Kids are being shot by just having a toy gun out on the street because you can't tell a real gun from a toy gun at a distance.
