Isn't the idea of non-violent toys that we don't encourage the IDEA of
violence? I mean, isn't an A-Bomb a historical weapon? Is that ok for a toy?
How about a medieval torture chamber? At what point in history or fiction
does a weapon suddenly become "OK" in your book? Why is a "wild west"
revolver ok, but a baretta not? How can you defend fantasy/historical
weapons but be against modern ones?
