for me its called risk management

knife=high risk of small injuries, low risk of large injuries
gun=high risk of small injuries, high risk of large injuries

i'd choose neither. but if i had to i'd choose a knife because of the lower risk of major injuries or death.

kids need strength to cause significant major damage with a knife. a 6 year old can fire a gun without a lot of strength and in the case of a gun the child doesnt control the speed of the projectile.

the question is, at what age is it ok to start introducing these sort of weapons to your child?

i dont see why a 6 year old needs to be carrying a knife or gun around at 6 unless it was for educational purposes. even then, id probably start them off whith videos rather than the real thing.
