My dad was/is a duck hunter and he always taught us respect for firearms. I remember him always saying "Guns are not toys and toys are not guns." I always thought it sounded a little crazy but I bet it kept my brother and I from accidentally killing each other, ourselves or someone else because we knew better than to treat guns lightly.
