But you just claimed this:
"Before you mention sport shooting as a second purpose for a gun ,that is just a sport proving how good your aim is to prove it would be possible to kill people/animals more efficiently"
So we're now clear that the
sole purpose of some guns isn't for killing at all - it's for sport. Sport which is undertaken by people of all ages and under strictly controlled conditions.
If I want to teach my child to drive I can do so at any age on private property - nobody's suggesting shooting guns in public places is a good idea are they?
I'm surprised you appear to be more disturbed about a tiny number of children having supervised access to guns than the fact that knives kill/injure far more people and are carried/used far more routinely. Is that because knives weren't solely designed to kill? I'm not sure the victims care....
