You don't just let them keep it all the time. You keep it locked up except for when they ask to see it. If you live in the absolute middle of nowhere on a large property then occasionally they may be able to go hunt squirrels/rabbits etc by themselves or target shoot at a home range but that depends on the kid.

I grew up with plenty of people who had "their own" guns at young ages but they didn't just keep it all the time. Also legally it's their parents just with the understanding that once they're old enough it's actually theirs.

Sorry I completely misunderstood I thought you'd let them keep it at all time. If it's only for when they ask to see it then it's totally normal, shooting squirrels and everything

That's what reasonable people do in your country? Reach kids how to safely kill squirrels as a hobby?

What the fuck?

I, and most people I know, were taugh to shoot around 5 as well as being taught firearms safety around then. Also they're typically going to eat the squirrels so it's not just for the heck of it, but sometimes they do just need culling anyway if they're tearing stuff up.

🤷‍♀️ I don't get how it's that crazy. I'm not into tree rat but some people like it.
