Around 60 to 80 percent of boys and 30 percent of girls play with aggressive toys at home, including guns. But there's no link between a child playing with toy guns and engaging in violence later in life, said by child psychologist Michael Thompson. "Everyone has an informal causation theory that playing with guns leads to the use of guns in adulthood," he said. "There's no scientific evidence suggesting that playing war games in childhood leads to real-life aggression."
