        Sure. Not saying ban gun toys (backfires; kids like forbidden stuff). Just a reflection of rise of a callous death-culture.

        Fewer death in war (@sapinker's argument) and huge rise of guns in cultural stories (movies; games) are not in contradiction.

        They also didn't use to come in "boy" and "girl" sets, with girl ones all pink and purple. Needless highlighting of difference.

        I'd hope so but I was down a Lego aisle recently and a lot of black guns that looked serious. Felt too casual for little kids.

        But you are unlikely to encounter those in real life. Too many little kids with access to guns know how to point & shoot. :-(

        I think guns are a particular problem since they are so widespread. Keep reading about toddlers shooting self; parents, etc.
