I totally can't understand this kid. Is he saying "Should I have a gun?"
-
Yes, he's saying, "Should I have a gun?". I don't want my son to be able to get his hands on a gun at any age.

I'm with you. I have a 7-yr old who has occasionally toyed with the gun play, but we put the kaibash on it quickly. There are so many more creative and productive things for a kid to do than to pretend to kill things.

give him 3-5 years and I say sure, under parental supervision

A gun is far more dangerous than a car. If I can't learn to drive before 15 legaly than legaly why should I learn to shoot before then?
Perhaps less laws on the prohibition of guns and more laws mandating safety courses before owning them at any age, the same as if one were getting a drivers lisence for the first time. -
LOOK OUT NOW! This little guy is too young & tender to be getting a gun. Want to break him from wanting a gun? Let him test his luck with a 12 gauge shotgun! It'll knock him on his little behind & you won't have problems with him wanting another gun until he's old enough to enlist...

Gun-toting Dads have to train their kids to use guns before they are fifteen or so or they won't get into the gun culture. At twelve years old, boys still think Dad is great and knows a lot about the world. At fifteen they think he's a dinosaur and doesn't know shit about what's going on in the world.
I picked up a hunting magazine in a waiting-room when I was having my tires changed and it made this very point. The number of active hunters in the US is steadily dropping and hunters are worried about it. You may think that some adults who have not been introduced to hunting when they are young would take it up as adults when they can afford to buy their own guns and have their own transport, but this is hardly ever the case.
The hunting community is the backbone of the gun-lobby. I don't have a problem with people hunting as long as they eat the meat, but I am happy to see the number of hunters decline so that the real gun nuts, the ones with the uzis and the AR15's and the MAC 10 machine pistols, lose their grip on congress where our weak-kneed representatives are scared that they will be targeted if they even mention any control on guns.
I would like to see every gun registered just like every car. The Colt Company, makers of rifles and handguns once floated a plan where they said they were willing to test-fire every handgun sold and keep a database of the ballistic "fingerprint" of every gun. That way, if a gun was used in a crime you could look up the ballistic "fingerprint", track which gun fired it, look up the registered owner and have a starting point to track down who fired the gun. The NRA forced Colt to withdraw the plan with a campaign of letters and emails. We need to break the back of the NRA or we will get nowhere. I can't see this country truly banning firearms for civilians in the next fifty years but we could at least get to some intelligent position in the tracking of how many there are and who has control of them. -

The person who obviously coaxed this kid to ask this question for the camera should NOT have a gun!
-
Probably shouldn't have a video camera either for that matter...
-
Children should be seen not heard! To young to know anything except where the peanut butter is!
-
well, that is all a question of how good our aim is.
-
Score!! I love it when people use children as a way to propagate their own agenda!
-
HAHAHA.
Even before gun control children never OWNED guns. Parents that owned guns taught their child gun safety, placed safety mechanisms on guns, and locked up guns.
The biggest danger in America, The ignorant.
