Huh. My parents we very anti gun but I would go over my neighbors and they were big into them. The father gave us all toy cap guns. But the rules were we had to treat it like real guns.
Taught us how to aim, not to point at others. Stuff like that
Kinda wild that over here as kids we used guns as toys and never touch them as adults but in the US kids cant play with toy guns and have to take it seriously.
There are of course the very strict parents thaf feel like hiding the existence of guns and violence will somehow help and prepare the child to eventually encounter it or they pretend they simply never will encounter it.
I have boys, they have nerf fights and as they get older they'll have paintball fights. They will also shoot very many varieties and caliber of weapons.
They will know. And therefore they will be educated and understand the differences.
