I think it's pretty easy to teach kids that guns will kill people if used improperly.
Does that mean that everyone should have guns around.
Absoluely not. I know a lot of people who aren't responsible enougth to be around guns and their in their 20's.
But to make a blanket statement that you can't teach kids gun safety is pretty inaccurate.

You need to understand my perspective. Death is absolute. There is no do-over for someone who gets killed. Children, in GENERAL, don't get that. Yes, it's a blanket statement but your own personal example doesn't prove it false.
Gun's are lethal even in the hands of children. Do we let them drive cars? Do we let them handle explosives? Do we let them skydive? Why should we let them handle guns?
I get that I'm hitting a cultural nerve, and I don't want to get into a gun control argument here. My point was that it's better for parents just to not have guns in the house at all.
