Bang Bang who is dead?

A rather disturbing thing happened to me on the way home the other day. I had taken a different route to pick up this years hanging baskets. I was following a car which was one of those 4X4's and one of the rear windows was open. As we approached a roundabout a gun appeared out of the window. It was rather sinister in the way it appeared as if it really was going to take a shot at something. However as more of the gun was revealed I could see a small hand was holding it. It was a kid pretending to shoot at something. Now I am not going to make any judgement on wether kids should have toy guns except to say since we stood upright on our back two legs our offspring have always done this sort of thing, perhaps with sticks and stones years ago before guns were introduced....not being a parent I also don't need to worry about making such decisions.
