Cap guns, potato guns, water guns, just plain clicky/sparky/light up guns and so on, guns for kids are nothing new.
Fidget in the name is a gimmick to use bright colours and sell plastic guns to more kids.
Had these as a kid. Wasn't in a family who owned guns.
Bb gun and airsoft too. Never considered it odd but guess from outside perspective is an American thing.
We had cap guns, BB guns and spud guns in the UK too so not just an American thing.
Water pistols as well.
Not the same product or intent.
Cap guns or laser guns light up or make noise and are meant to be "toys", a fidget gun is simply correlating pulling the trigger of a gun with relieving anxiety or stress.
I doubt going children even care that it's a fidget toy, they'll still be mindlessly clicking the clicky bits on it or waddling around shouting pew pew pew
I've never felt more stress after pulling a trigger. Stress relief seems tied directly to ammo fired (so long as I'm not paying for the ammo, anyway.)
The only thing that can stop a bad toddler with a gun is a good toddler with a gun!
It's ok, they fire under charged .22 bullets that aren't too dangerous and that build character.
Oh thank goodness.
As long as the children learn that bullets aren't dangerous, things should be fine.
They had them in the 50s too with real shut-up-your-annoying-sibling action
That's what the .22 short was invented for.
Kids love guns. If you don't want kids to love guns, then stop putting guns in every movie.
Sure wouldn't hurt.
