You stated in a previous post specifically that

Yes, guns should not be allowed in the hands of kids (IMO)

You didn't make any qualifications, so I believe that he was simply responding to an absolute statement by you, and now you're trying to say he was out of context. Personally I think that kids should be allowed access to and be traind with firearms at an early age, but not concealed carry, which would be pretty absurd.

Absolutely right f_o_g. I in no way endorsed concealed carry for my 5yr old. It was just a response to the broad brush ststement by misterrob. In our homeschool marksmanship is a required course every year until high school graduation.

They are barking up the wrong tree. Yes, guns should not be allowed in the hands of kids (IMO) just like we tell them that they cannot drink, drive a car, enlist or vote until they reach a certain age. However, they will not address the issues that are the problem and that is out of control kids, ghetto culture, drug and alcohol abuse and poverty.

Solve those and people will have less of a need to go bust a cap in someone's ass.....

I am talking about their efforts to make gun control the solution to a problem that really isn't about the gun.

In my opinion, there is no reason to allow kids to carry (which is different than supervised use of a firearm under managed situation) and especially so since the overwhelming majority have no understanding of what they are doing and the way that they misuse them.
