    As a matter of fact, that is a thing that exists. I had a special child-sized .22 rifle when I was 5 years old. My parents kept it safely stored and allowed me to practice with it under close supervision. Sears made them, marketed as a “youth” model.

      Well that’s disturbing… imagine how many parents, especially today, wouldn’t keep it safely stored or allow their kid to practice with it only under close supervision.

      In theory, in a world where every gun owner was responsible, it wouldn’t worry me. We don’t live in that world.
