Dogs and 911. Common sense.

I've used guns since I was very young. I was shooting a 22 (under supervision) when I was 5 or 6.
I didn't get my own real gun until I was 12 but that's because my parents made me do chores until I saved enough to pay for half of it.
Before that I always had a BB gun.
same thing with my 3 brothers. We learned a a very young age to respect guns, to understand guns, and to know the rules.
If kids are taught correctly, it isn't an issue.
It's when kids find guns and they haven't been taught all about them and are not familiar with them and don't know the rules when bad things happen.
