Caine said:I disagree.
I think teaching kids at a young age would encourage them to play with guns.
Now teaching them at... say...13 or so is probably okay, because at this age I believe they are mature enough to know, remember, and respect the dangers of firearms.

ptsdkid said:People throw their infants into a swimming pool in teaching them the art of swimming. Perhaps you think a 3-month old isn't mature enough to learn how to swim. Your negativity toward this issue of firearm teaching, just reaffirms the notion that you're against private gun ownership in the first place; reinforcing the fact that liberals keep attacking our freedoms bit by bit and until they get congress to pass laws to limit our freedoms.
Why must you make up posts that are not accurate? You took someone else's post that was PRO-GUN and using malignant language attacked an unknown boogey man that didn't write the stuff you're arguing against.ptsdkid said:People throw their infants into a swimming pool in teaching them the art of swimming.

CoffeeSaint said:Children should respect guns. They should also hate guns. If you want to teach them one, teach them the other. Of course, the same should be said of adults, infants, and anything else that lives and breathes and thinks: respect guns, and hate them, too.

Chris said:What age do you guys thing would be appropriate to teach kids about gun use/safety, for those of you in favor of it?
That's defeatist.George_Washington said:a.) Guns are everywhere and are impossible to get rid of.
Concern over any gun deaths is commendable. However most US gun deaths are not accidental. If you really care reducing about deaths from firearems, you'd support the idea of strict gun laws as we have in UK. The murder rate with firearems in Washington alone is more than in the entire UK.George_Washington said:b.) Therefore, we should instruct young people on how to properly handle firearms so that if, for example, they see one at a friend's house, they won't accidently harm themselves.

robin said:So in effect, law abiding citizens are saying they want to be free to own guns, so they will be able to protect themselves from the stupid gun laws they asked for to permit them to own a gun in the 1st place !
