Another thought:
If we're going to educate kids on guns, we need to include the fact that many resemble toys. A couple of mine are Tiffany Blue. This one is plastic and weighs less than some pellet and toy guns. Han Solo blaster anyone?
Taught my kids, after showing examples, "If it's shaped like a gun, assume it's a gun, act accordingly."
