To be quite honest, you can purchase a budget AR for the same price as building one yourself. As far as safety tips with kids. Get yourself a nice size safe, then fill it up as time goes on. Also, depending on your kids ages, teach them firearm safety as well as respecting firearms. Don't make it taboo. You know, what you keep from kids makes them want it even more.
