In this program, ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer investigates the dangerous fascination kids have with guns. In two filmed experiments arranged with parental consent at community centers, police officers placed disabled handguns in locations where teenagers could find them. The results were startling: male teenagers, excite by their discovery, often played with the guns or aimed them at friends. Interviews with teenagers involved in accidental shootings testify to this tragic combination. A judge, a neuropsychiatrist, and an NRA spokesman comment from different perspectives to help parents understand this behavior.
