I fail to understand why a nine year old should be taught how to use a firearm.
Children are children and shouldn't be given weapons. This is why we don't give six year old knives and why we don't let children play in the kitchen (so they don't burn themselves on the stove). We also don't let our nine year olds drive. (Or vote or drink or smoke.)

What do you mean "draconian"? It's easier to purchase a firearm than it is to get a driver's license.
