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.....

Not to mention locking up criminals.

I had my first gun (.22 single shot) at age 7. Oddly enough (oddly according to liberal logic anyway) it never told me to go shoot anyone.

My soon to be 5 yr old can hit the 10 ring at 20yds with his pellet rifle, after his birthday (in two weeks) he graduates to a 22.

I assume when you say guns shouldn't be in the hands of kids, you mean without supervision. A time-honored tradition has been adults teaching the kids in their family how to shoot and responsibly handle firearms. At age 6, my father, uncle and grandfather took my older brother and me out shooting for the first time. The kick of a 20-gauge shotgun and a .45 ACP Colt into 6-year old hands and arms taught me an important lesson...guns are not toys. The pumpkin I blew to pieces taught me another important lesson...if used irresponsibly, a gun could do the same to a friend or family member's head. As a result, I have never feared guns, but have always respected them.

When my niece turned 10, my older bro and I passed the tradition on. Now, on the verge of 13, she has her own .22 rifle and .22 pistol (locked in bro's safe, of course), and is learning to handle a .38 and .223. She wants to go hunting with us next year, and may get a .243 for her birthday. Sarah Brady/Diane "Stinky" Feinstein/Charles Schumer/Hilldebeast/Rudy, et al, this is your worst nightmare...it continues. Keep your hands off the Second Amendment!!

I will give you the ghetto culture, the problems of drug and alcohol abuse which seems a part of the ghetto culture. But poverty is not a part of it. The generation who lived through the depression saw poverty in amounts never seen sense. Crime was not the problem them that it is now. Being poor dose not lead to a life of crime being raised with no morals or self discipline dose.
