Several parents complained at a toy gun vending machine outside a bodega on Brook Ave in Mott Haven, a neighborhood where crime has recently gone up.

The machines, labeled “HEAVY FIRE”, sells half a dozen of different plastic guns such as assault rifles and handguns for only 50 cents.

“Kids see the guns in a gumball machine and they think it’s okay to buy guns,” said Kelly McKinnon, a 40 year-old mother of three. “I’ve never heard of something so crazy.”
