About the kids: I believe in training kids for gun safety. I do that with my godson and his friend, rifles for now, handgun maybe later. They might think it's cool, but if they do one unsafe thing then it's over, no more access. I don't think that having experience with guns like that is going to make any difference in the crime rate. I teach respect for life too which might make a difference. But one thing is for sure, they will know about gun safety, they will not accidentally shoot themselves or anyone else.
