Thanks for sharing the photo of your nephew. I can see why his parents might not love the pic though. Last time I took the girls to Chuck E. Cheese, I actually "gave in" and let them play a couple of the least violent & realistic gun games. I sit on the fence when it comes to letting my kids play with toy or arcade game weapons. I definitely don't encourage it, but most kids will find a way to make pretend weapons anyway -- using blocks, building sets, brooms, paper towel tubes, their hands, etc. And, if it's "forbidden," often times that will make it all the more intriguing.
