I see you are taking the easy way out. No need to think too much about it.
Godspeed!
As a protector and trusted appointee of laptops and various other pieces of technology, I say do it.
Laptops, printers, cell phones etc are all thoughtless assholes who express no empathy for the bouts of pain that they inflict onto their users.
its hard for me to take your position seriously because its based on an inability to differentiate between a weapon and a toy. it's the same kind of mentality behind those who assume video games will make children violent because they somehow can't differentiate between fantasy and reality.I see you are taking the easy way out. No need to think too much about it.

I had many toy guns as a kid, my favorite was a trigger action tommy gun. I would hide in bushes or behind cars and take shots at the postman, garbage collectors, neighbors... on weekends I'd shoot my best friend several a day. I cannot remember ever thinking my toys were real or feeling like I actually needed to kill someone.
Well, I guess my European upbringing makes me different there. My parents and those of many of my friends are/were against war/guns/military, so we kids never got any toys that would glorify them or make these things seem normal.
A close friend's dad was a hunter, so naturally she had a toy hunting rifle. Her dad would not let her point the gun at a human because of the above mentioned reasons.
While I can differentiate between a weapon and a toy, apparently kids have a harder time with that:
Gun Safety
Americans own almost 200 million guns. However, a gun in the home can be very dangerous, especially for children.

one of the coolest things i've ever witnessed was a cheetah running down a gazelle, grabbing it by the neck at full speed, and then stopping to snap its neck. straight up savage.
in much less exciting news, waiting in carpool line to pick up kids after scrambling around at work trying to get shit done and not forget about the zillions of things i've out off over the past few weeks.
thinking about a fuckit friday tho, so i got that going for me...

When I lived on a boat a neighbor's chihuahua would bark constantly. I always pleaded with the local bald eagles to swoop in for a snack. Stupid freedom chickens were more interesting in just stealing meals from various sea-birds.

Last time we went, we got a travel grant and prize money. Trip cost $5000 which was offset by the grant and cash winnings so we broke even
Why? I accept that times change. My point is that millions of kids played with realistic toy guns without becoming killers.
Why? I think you said it yourself – times change ... or frankly, not so much for some of us.
Your point about toy guns and killers I will leave alone.
