ER is only helpful is he is an active danger to himself or others. His psychiatrist should be able to guide you on this. Bottom line, if you are scared that someone is going to get hurt, go to ER.
With Tigger, the obsession with guns terrified me. At my aunt's suggestion, I finally got a few toy guns -- all bright orange and clearly toys. He was happy that he had "guns" and the obsession lessened. He never tried to take them to school or be inappropriate with them. Before he got the guns, he would build guns out of legos, food, playdough, etc. and the school was getting mad about that.
