How do you feel about toy swords and guns / Nerf guns for children? At what age do you find them appropriate for children to begin playing with, if at all?

How would you handle dropping your child off to a babysitter that lets their children / your child play with them if you do not find them appropriate?

Inspired by me picking up my 2 yr old son from my sister in laws where he spent the day playing with swords all day with my 4 and 6 year old nephews. :/ I'm not a fan of toy swords for older children, and definitely not my two year old. I just don't feel that they are necessary, and not pretend play I want him engaging in.
