Toy Like Guns are not cute. They are scary. This increases the chances a child is going to reach for that weapon. Don’t do this!
Do I even have to explain why this is a bad idea?
Toy Like Guns could end up with a kid reaching for it because they think its a toy. This could end up in tragedy on so many levels.
Guns are not toys. Guns are not props for photo shoots. They are dangerous tools. Mishandle them and people will end up hurt.
Why do I show these videos and pictures? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.
Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:
- Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
- Treat all guns as loaded at all times.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
- Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.
This is a clear violation of Rule 2. Covering a gun in childhood symbols means there is no way you are treating it like a loaded, deadly, weapon.
