That does not really matter. The fact remains that these parents should have been more responsible. I was raised around guns my whole life. If I had ever been in desperate need of them, I could have gotten to them, but I never had any such need, and the keys were well hidden from us boys while we were growing up. I know that we went shooting often, and when I was 10, I had a pellet gun. By the time I was 13-14, I had been given a shotgun. However, we were trained in how to use these guns, and learned to give them the respect that they are due.
