I still play with guns, metaphorically speaking in that I shoot toy ones in my studio. I find it interesting, if not alarming, that we have these violent objects depicted as toys for our kids to play with. My son got this one at the Topsfield Fair. It's a dual action device; pull the hammer back it's a laser pointer, squeeze the trigger and you get a electrical shock, actually a pretty good sting that kind of hurts, nasty little thing. He decided after everyone he was going to trick into getting shocked - got shocked - that it would be more interesting to take this thing apart and when I saw it lying there on our living room table it said photograph me...
