That's a stupid thing to say. At that age it's the parents fault for not locking up their guns, with small children around. And, if it is their gun, not teaching the child about guns. You have to teach your children about guns, and their safety, if you own them.

A child definitely wouldn't know. It's the left, Hollywood. They see these shoot'em up shows and movies. That is the only place they can get this information or even learn about it.
Come on Gunter, really? What do children really know, unless they have suck face parents, and/or television.
