"I don't like squirt guns," said Mendez, 45, of the Northside. "I think toy guns send the wrong message, because what's next? I don't even like my daughter to touch them."Good grief.
Julianna Thibodeaux, 40, who lives in Meridian-Kessler, doesn't like squirt guns, either.
"We're so saturated with violence as it is in the media and in our culture," she said. "Anything we can do to mitigate that is good. Besides, there are so many other water toys to play with, like bubbles or water balloons. It doesn't have to be a gun."
