"I raised my kids to respect the firearm, and that it's a tool, not a toy."

THIS ! if we gave mandatory firearm training before 7 years of age, those who like them would know, those who are afraid would let them be & less troubles all 'round .

Same here, I'm a single father in the Ghetto and my son understands firearms perhaps better than I .

I can't imagine anyone in charge of weapons allowing them to be deployed sans cleaning kits, especially in a humid, muddy area ~ that's a recipe for disaster .
