There was a day and time when kids at a young pre-
school age could play with toy handguns and it
didn't present a problem. The world we live in
today doesn't allow for such recreation, because
in this environment today one doesn't relate
handguns to shooting pop-up duck targets, but
relates it to deaths. The kids today are relating the use
of handguns to self-defence, agression, or revenge.
It's not like it was in the 50's, kids today live in a live
ammunition world.
Kids shouldn't have access to handguns through any means especially legal ones. "Parents, professionals and many others are concerned about the increasing numbers of children and adolescents killed by firearms. This was in a fact sheet (July 1999) on the internet titled "Children and firearms." This statement lets the reader know that there is a problem with kids possessing firearms.
I was looking at a 30 minute pro-gun program (July, 25 1999) sponsored by
the (NRA) National Rifle Association on CBS, and the pro-gun people didn't
believe that a ban on handguns would make society safer, but they never gave any statistic; Banning of handguns save kids lives.
