Do you have issues about kids aiming a toy gun at people? I have. Just this afternoon after school, I saw this 5-year-old boy holding a toy gun and aiming at everyone. He also aimed the gun at me and did the action of shooting me. I did not find it cute nor funny. His parents though thought he was very cute for they even taught him how to really aim it because they plastic gun had some sort of plastic bullets that come out of the gun. In fact, the father was holding another spare toy gun with pellets and he in fact showed the boy how to really make good target. I was dying to tell the kid that what he was doing was not nice, but I was afraid that the parents would find this as an intrusion and that I should mind my own business. What do you think of this?

Aiming at people is not a good practice. Especially if the kid can't differentiate between a cute action and a real danger. Although the pellet is not a real bullet, but freak accidents can occur any time of the day.

Exactly. That was what I was thinking the whole time but was a coward.
