" Guns
are made for war. If he dislikes war, why the interest
in guns? So many other interesting complex machines to
explore."

My 14 y.o. is fascinated with war history (watches "Mail Call"
frequently), weaponry of all eras AND many, many other complex
machines. He's also a peace activist.
Why would I limit his interest in history and weapons, just because
there are other things to explore?

That's like saying: "why the interest in birds when there are so
many other intersting creatures to explore?"

An interest in guns has nothing to do with a love for violence. One
does not lead to the other.
