Jim H. posted a story including:

<....when he picked up 
a fake gun sold in the store. As he wandered the aisles...>

Huh?!

Thought pause... I've never liked the fact that fake guns are sold for children (and adults?) to play with and to think an adult would do this I'm wondering what the hell?!  And then the customer and police took him serious... OMG

To peace out this violent gun ridden country, the manufacturing and sale of fake guns and gun shooting (video) games that give kids (and adults) the idea that guns are toys needs to stop or a double message is shouted. Time to wise-up and ask what message do these things send to children (and adults)?  "Guns are fun; violence is a game?!"

Thanks for this eye opener Jim.  I'm pressed for time and can't watch the documentary right now, but I did read some on the site.  Unbelievably large elephant in the room not only with racism but with the concept of fake guns that look real and are sold for fun.

Love,
Laura
