I guess it depends on the kid... I gave my daughter a shotgun for her
12th birthday; neither my wife nor I had any doubt that she would use
it responsibly. Raised some eyebrows when she told classmates and
teachers what she got for her birthday, though...

In today's climate, I'm surprised she wasn't arrested and detained
without charge.
