Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Not my belief, but a good counter argument maybe. The motto of the National Rifle Association I believe. For my opinion though, they shouldn't be allowed, especially younger children, because at their age they are likely not fully aware of the possible dangers of the weapon. This being due to ignorance or immiturity I don't know....

Hope that helped, though it's kinda stating the obvious!!!

Just remember, monkeys also kill people, if they've got a gun!!!
