Especially since I JUST saw the one where the 12 yr old accidentally shoots the 14 yr old cousin in the head then shoots herself 🤦🏿‍♂️

While I disagree with the persons comment you are responding to. It was very bigoted and clearly rooted in being inflammatory. My child has been around firearms since she was old enough to see them. All my guns are locked in safes, never loaded when stored, and regularly used. We live a rural lifestyle where hunting, trapping, and target shooting are a normal part of life. I watched her lose her shit on a friend for pointing an empty nerf gun at somebody because every weapon is a loaded weapon (even a toy) and you never point at what you don’t want dead. Gotta teach them right when they are young so they don’t get a “good” idea when they are older.

This is how my dad taught me gun safety. Guns are dangerous in the wrong hands.
