I don't encourage guns, and we try to be aware of our tv. (Except when we have to leave the kids at the mercy of our parents) But this picture reminded me of how my son, as a baby (2 years) instinctively memorized commercial breaks with guns (no matter how innocent the commercial was) and kungfu etc. I was further totally amazed that he was able to build his duplo blocks into a shape of a gun, battleship and more..I constantly say how guns are scary and guns hurt people to him. But the fascination stuck. I know now it's a boy fantasy thing and other mom's have confirmed to me that it's a passing thing. I am flabbergasted that boys can so quickly notice a dangerous toy (and mimic it) and not notice when I say their name..image found on ffffound.com
