The issue of weapons is a delicate matter and I think your behavior as a father is very responsible when you want to instruct your children before they manipulate something so delicate. In Latin America, and specifically in my country, there is no such culture, there are many young criminals who kill many people for the handling of weapons without any responsibility. A good education not only in school but from the family, is the basis of responsible adulthood. Thank you for sharing this personal experience and transferring it to the reflection of what education and knowledge about such a sensitive topic should be. A hug from Venezuela!..@sponge-bob

There are strong opinions on both sides of this issue. There are parents who do not keep their guns, pills, or power tools well out of the reach of their kids which causes accidents, very sad accidents.
I live in Latin America too and there are some guns in the streets. Currently they are adding thousands of new "police" to keep order. I worry about all these new officers that have less than six months of experience with guns. And they keep a loaded gun on their hip for 10 hours or so per day.
Most people feel safer when a policeman walk into a bank. I do not. What I see is a person with a gun, and I do not know how sane that person is.
