There are homes in which 12 year olds are mature/trained enough to handle a firearm and there are homes where a 16 year old is not. 

Yea, but what if your kid isn't mature enough to handle a firearm and someone breaks into the house?  Even immature kids have a right to be able to protect themselves.
