Kids don't kill people

10:00am Thursday 31st March 2011 in Letters

Why all the concern recently about seven- and 10-year-olds being given shotgun licences?

Has anyone known of a death because of this? No. They are being taught how to handle guns, safely and correctly.

Maybe we should have a licence for adults who own a mobile phone and also a car?

People using mobile phones while driving kill a lot of people and they are adults.

Young people with guns don’t kill. People on mobile phones while driving do.

Trouble is these young people can grow up to be killers. Why do young people need a gun for???
You should not make stupid comments that you can not back up...where is your proof that drivers using mobile phones kill a lot of people?? apart from your made up mind.

Yet just how many more people own mobiles and cars? Every day on the Iffley Road I see drivers, with mobiles jammed to their ears, or texting.
Mobiles and cars are lethal when combined.

I have just read this letter and Bart Simpsons reply, saying that the girl of 5 shot by kids in London blows the letters argument out of the water.
This shows how ignorant he is about what he criticises. The letter says 10 year old with shotgun LICENCES. The guns that were used were unlicensed handguns.

How can anyone support children of 10 having a shotgun licence,I think the word Children speaks for itself. Also for those that dont know a mobile phone is not actually a weapon.If children as young as 10 can get shotgun licences I dont hold out much hope for this country .
