    Imagine your kids get accustomed to playing with these, then someday they find mom’s real 9mm that looks just like the toy.

      Easy to imagine. In their rush to make instruments of death less scary looking, they’ve made them less scary looking which seems like a bad thing, to me.

      Got my wife a pink Bersa Thunder for Christmas.

      Know why? She doesn’t feel as apprehensive about shooting it, won’t touch my Colt .45 because heavy and black and scary. They kick about the same since the Colt is much heavier.

      As I said in another comment, my kids got a lesson on guns that look like toys. Hell, 2 of mine are Tiffany blue. (It matches my kitchen, OK?)
