A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Not from the US, I have plenty of deadly stuff at home: cleaning products, solvents, medicines, sharps, electric stuff. The solution to that is fucking look after your children or don't have any, not give them a fucking gun when they are eight ffs.
Is it not possible to look after your child while teaching them about gun safety or something?
Or something what? I'd stick with keeping guns away from civilians of all ages.
True. I wouldn't hand my kids bb guns at 8. I'm also sure you don't hide dangerous items completely from your kids, and some way demonstrate using them responsibly.
I don't own any guns myself, so I used nerf rival guns to demonstrate safety to my children. Again, my biggest concerns are what to do with a found firearm, never point one at anything you don't want to shoot.
I also allowed them to hang out with Grandpa for an afternoon and familiarize themselves with firearms. If they were more interested in firearms, a bb gun would have been okay for them to take out to Grandpa's firing range. I'm only referring to a spring action device, and my children are a little older.
Completely. Not a drop of bleach within reach.
