Define "kids".
Why should we "keep them away"? How do you "keep them away" from sex for instance?
Maybe as suggested parents start acting like parents and take some responsibility. I have been shooting since I was very young and I got my first gun when I was 10 or so. On the other hand, I was never allowed to have a BB or pellet gun nor even a "cap" gun. Apparently my father wasn't real keen on me learning to point a "fake " gun at anyone so that wasn't a habit I had to unlearn when I had the real thing.
I don't have kids but I still secure my weapons properly regardless. I don't leave the keys in my ignition either. Gun ownership is a right , but with that right comes an enormous responsibility I am still wondering why those two things don't always go together.
