Many children can still distinguish between right and wrong thankfully and I think some people are still reacting to this as if these children are simply handed guns and allowed to do what they want. Yes, guns were originally designed to kill but many sports weapons aren't designed for that purpose at all and would in fact make pretty inefficient killing weapons. To say that, because the first gun ever made was designed as a weapon, all guns since have been designed solely for that purpose and that the sole use to which they're actually put is totally irrelevant is nonsense. For me the main issue is controls and it seems to me that over the years the licensing system has done a pretty good job of ensuring guns don't get into the wrong hands and the exceptions to that haven't been 10 years olds, they've been adults.
