I mean a 5 year old should be taught at the minimum:

-A gun is *always* loaded
-If you find one lying around TELL AN ADULT, do not touch it!
-Never point it as something you don't want to see dead or destroyed

Even if a person hates guns, gun owners, and the idea of private citizens owning them, their kids should know the above!
