Are You A Gun Owner?

...okay, so at what age would you guys start educating your child about guns? 7? 9? 11? 13?
---------------------------

My opinion is the moment the kid learns the word gun.

I think part of the "problem" is exposure and conditioning that makes taking someone else's life seem trivial. Everywhere you look someone is killing someone else and unless it's someone you know - it seems the true depth of death or murder isn't appreciated.

The news alone is great for this.. Reports almost every night of, "nice shoes, you die now" - "he cut me off in traffic, so I killed him" - "I've got a small dick, so you've gotta die"..

I think it's important that people be taught early and well that life is all we've got and one life touches many. Combined with that, the purpose, use and safety issues involved with any form of self defense or weapon.

I don't have any kids though, so you may just want to ignore everything I said
