Before a child is introduced to firearms, maybe parents should consider some formal training in a school of martial arts. It will train them in self discipline, mental focus, self esteem and everything that firearm training will not do. It will also instill confidence in their own self defense capacities hand to hand, so when they are bullied or picked on at school, their first thought does not default to the gun.

Teaching a child basic firearm safety and handling is a good idea. Getting a child to fascinate about firearms is a bad idea, doing that to a mentally disabled child is socially irresponsible and if bad things happen it's also a criminal liability as well a burden on your conscious.

Let a child be a child, let's not force our gun nuts fascination with firearms on their innocence!
