Which came to the conclusion that there isn't enough data collected to really answer this question.

Our study disclosed that scant data exist on the incidence of crimes, injuries, or deaths involving toy guns and on the long-term effects that childhood play with toy guns may have on individuals. Available data on crimes involving toy guns are dated and insufficient for providing a national perspective. Also, databases that collect information from hospital emergency rooms and other sources regarding productrelated injuries and deaths generally are not designed to capture information about incidents involving toy guns. Thus, the relatively few cases of such incidents that were recorded in these databases probably do not represent an accurate or comprehensive reporting.

From a GAO Report requested by The Honorable Edolphus Towns from 2003.
