While I accept that you may be a responsible gun owner and have taken the time to pass that along to your children - obviously we're seeing many others who aren't.
All kids mature at a different age and develop a sense of responsibility at different times - some never do. It's not always an easy task to determine where the line is drawn.

I never had any problems with the friends of my daughter or any other kid.

My daughter, if anyone of her friends did anything disrespectful in our house, she would have kicked them out. Before any kid spent any time in my house, I met their parents. Before my daughter spent anytime at a friends house, I met their parents. I had their parents names and phone numbers. It was common sense by design. Most of the families that lived in my area where I raised her had hunters in the house, so they were raised around firearms as well. Never heard of any kids in the area shooting themselves or taking a gun to class.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
