Giving a little kid an UZI is crazy.

Children are better suited to crew served weapons.

Their small size allows them to work more efficiently without hindering each other, and it builds important teamwork skills.

You and 5 billion other Americans would strongly disagree on my second point.  I do own a gun and grew up around guns, so I'm not an anti-gun guy.  And I can see how fully automatic weapons are "badass" and stuff.  I'm just not into the idea of civilians being able to purchase them.  They should be kept under lock and key down at the military base and only handed out when the troops jump out of the plane into enemy territory.
