How the hell does that work? give an armed and extremely dangerous weapon to a child with an active imagination and no self control, who can barely even think for themselves. If they HAVE to give their children guns they should at least wait until their child is old enough to understand before giving them such a powerful responsibility. A child shouldn't need to protect themselves, the parents should do that until the child is old enough to look after themselves.
the backwards dippomegranate mentality of some people just irritates me. People like this shouldn't be allowed to breed, never mind buy guns.
Also there is a difference between children knowing about guns and actually giving one to a child.
Whatever happened to demonstrations and keeping dangerous things out of reach from children? Educating children about drugs certainly doesn't involve giving them any so why the hell would anyone think that giving guns is a good idea in any way?
