>The culture teaches all kinds of things about guns - most of them wrong. I would prefer my son learned guns to be what they are rather than have opinions formed by those who fear them or those who treat them a magical things. A child who has been trained is not the child who doesn't know the gun is loaded - and who knows to treat *all* guns as loaded.

And have him smoke pot while he is at it, just so he knows what it is, and build bombs just in case he needs that knowledge. I just don't agree to expose a 10 year kid to these things...At least wait until his mind is mature enough to understand all the consequences of such knowledge.
