You can play anything with pretend guns and gags. My problem is using potentially dangerous props. Nobody here is against imaginative play. There is no need to use real rope to pretend to tie somebody up, for example. And in the U.S. Kids die every day from gunshots. The rope is dangerous...little kids do not get that rope can burn or kill. I say, hide the real rope and let the kid use pretend rope and then everyone will be safe aND still playing happily
