If This is How We Teach Social Skills, We are in Big Trouble

So I am currently shopping online for Christmas gifts for the kiddos and was looking at a listing for this toy on Target.com
Here are the product specifications....
 
This Nerf Vortex Lumatron blaster brings serious action to the battlefield. The magazine-fed disc blaster shoots glow-in-the dark. It includes a 10-disc magazine, 10 plastic discs and instructions.
  • Manufacturer's Suggested Age: 4 Years and Up
  • Includes: Figure
  • Educational Focus: Social Skills
  • Dimensions: 14.49 " H x 3.7 " W x 5.98 " L
  • Product Weight: 2.4 Lb.
  • Care and Cleaning: Wipe Clean With a Damp Cloth

If guns (even Nerf ones) are what passes for social skills education in this country, that certainly explains a lot
