OR children should be more versed in guns.
Instead of "that big scary thing that my parents hardly let me even look at, let alone touch" or "that thing I see in video games that makes people burst with red and respawn somewhere else" they can actually be taught proper gun etiquette so they know more about how it works, what it does, and the consequences of it.
.
Its like sex ed. You can either just assume your kids will be safe use condoms or not have sex, and that they somehow know that sex leads to pregnancy, or you can be an adult and actually tell/teach them about it, no matter how difficult or awkward it is, and then you KNOW they will have the respect and knowledge about the subject that they should.
.
Note: When I say teach them about sex, I do not mean a hands on demonstration, although you should for guns ;)
