Description: ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer investigates the fascination kids have with guns. In two filmed experiments, police officers placed disabled handguns in locations where teenagers would find them.

A judge, a neuropsychiatrist, and an NRA spokesman comment from different perspectives to help parents understand this behavior.
