Re: Children under 10 issued shotguns

whats worrying is how do we know that the Adult with the child is suitable? on the licences does it stipulate what adults? are any checks done? if none of these theoretically anything can happen.

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....
but can kids distiguish between sport and violance? take football, most footballers have the mentality of children and look how they behave!
