When to introduce guns to children?
Ignoramus11065 wrote: How would you determine when it is appropriate to introduce children to guns? Obviously, the determinant of that should be maturity and developmental level of the child and not some arbitrary age. But what would constitute a child who is mature enough to be introduced to guns? When a kid points it's finger & goes bang... Then they are old enought to start learning. Get the toy guns & teach them how to clean them properly... Take them to a firing range & let them shoot a real one so that they learn the difference between Mommy & Daddy's guns vs the Kids toys. Lets say they have some super soakers... they decide the living room floor is the place to put it... well when they go to get it they discover the watergun is in time out for a week. THis teaches proper care of firearms & responsibility. Around 13 you get the pellot gun ONLY IF they have shown that when they are done playing cowboys or war that they clean & put away the toy guns. they prove they are responsible with a pellot gun then move up the cal. |
