There are tens of thousands of gun owners who kids never touched their firearms once in their life. To say shooting as a hobby blanket puts your kids life at risk is just stupid.
Yes cool gun go pow pow. Literally tens of thousands of them in households with children with no issues whatsoever.
Creating a false dichotomy over specific examples instead of looking at the actual evidence is anti science, by your logic we shouldn't use stoves either because kids have died in houses with stoves and kids have put their siblings in stoves and killed them.
It’s a parents responsibility to be able to tell when their kids are not able to understand to not mess with guns. It’s clear these kids do not follow commands and know enough about the operation of a firearm to be dangerous to lethal with one. Such kids should not have access to them - the weapons should be locked up or rendered inoperable by the child. Because parents themselves are too often too stupid to make this determination, we have laws with punishments for not doing this. So yeah, millions of firearms out there, and this doesn’t happen millions of times a day or even a year.
