own a gun of some kind with many more owning more than one. In the U.S there are more than
223 million registered guns, there are also countless more unregistered. Among gun owning

Some studies show that homeowners with a gun are 18 times more likely to be involved in the
death of a family member than an intruder.

I think that it is essential to teach children how to use guns, given the environment we
live in. It is like teaching a child not to touch a hot stove or to be safe around any other
potentially dangerous environment.
Since so many firearms exist in the US, it is important for children to understand how to
handle them, the power they have and how dangerous or useful they can be depending
on the operator.

In the UK, there are many hoops to jump through when applying for ownership of a gun such as
paperwork and background checks. Each type of gun has a completely seperate license. The
UK has the least amount of gun deaths in the world.
