Oh, well if you put it that way, yeah... I agree. I don't think kids should have access to guns whenever they feel like it. They can "own them" but I don't see any reason for a 14 year old kid to have a gun that's just sitting in their room. Of course, my dad never locked our guns up, but he never had a reason to. The guns just stayed put away until we wanted to go shooting or hunting. There was no reason to ever have them out. Of course, that's a far cry from when my grandpa was a little kid in Portland. He used to shoot squirrels pretty much anywhere in the Portland city limits that I desired from a very young age. Times change...
