I don't buy guns of any form (water gun, laser guns, etc.) for my kids because I don't want them to think that guns are "play things".
I also get very ticked off when people buy my kids toy guns of any form (even water guns) without asking me first if I approve of that gift.
Kids are kids though, and my kids will simulate playing with a gun with any object (pencils, sticks, bats, etc.). I don't encourage them to do that at all, but don't really have much of a problem as long as they don't point that at someone and make shooting noises.
