Exactly. Since when do FReepers "blame the gun?"

“Exactly. Since when do FReepers “blame the gun?” “
There’s an age at which you let your kids handle guns without special supervision. And there’s an age at which you don’t. (and that age probably varies from kid to kid, and family to family).
I think that’s all the author of the original article is saying here - until a kid hits an appropriate age - you can decide what that is - you don’t turn them loose 24 hours a day with their own smartphone. Her experience suggests 14 or 15 is too young for unbridled smartphone access - I suspect for most kids she’s probably right.
