I do NOT disagree with you, Murdock. More people should sit and THINK before they buy things for their kids.
As far as I'm concerned there are NO "toy" guns. Period. I'd never buy one for my child (I don't have any). I would buy them an air rifle which they'd use only with adult supervision. I'd buy them a .22 rifle with the same stipulation: adult supervision. Teaching them to shoot well is enough; no need to desensitize them to taking a human life. If the need arises and they are properly reared it's there. No need to enhance it.
