So that,'s a bummer.

Fidget spinners I knew about. Fidget guns I did not.

hashtag babies need guns too.

    Not the same product or intent.

    Cap guns or laser guns light up or make noise and are meant to be “toys”, a fidget gun is simply correlating pulling the trigger of a gun with relieving anxiety or stress.

      I doubt going children even care that it’s a fidget toy, they’ll still be mindlessly clicking the clicky bits on it or waddling around shouting pew pew pew

        Kids recognize objects and intent pretty well.

        But here’s to optimism.

      I’ve never felt more stress after pulling a trigger. Stress relief seems tied directly to ammo fired (so long as I’m not paying for the ammo, anyway.)

        Shooting is a wonderful way to disconnect and concentrate on something other than your problems. Gardening works for me as well.

        Are you normally pent up or generally nervous?

            I definitely feel that location dependent thing.

            Glad you have fun
