And there are kids growing up without basic self defense skills and gun safety knowledge.

And there are kids growing up without basic self defense skills and gun safety knowledge.

Well, that isn't my problem, that's their parents' problems. MY children all go basic self-defense instruction, and all of them learned gun safety, even against their will. Children aren't "free citizens" until they reach the "age of majority". Until then they belong to their parents and parents are held responsible for their actions in almost every state in the United States.

Therefore, parents need to be teaching those skills. Parents that do not are directly responsible for their children's actions, or lack thereof in my book.
