Allowing children to purchase guns is more trouble than its worth. The US has enough gun control problems as it is. Recently in the LA, a highway patrol man was shot to death by a punk teenage ganster. The problem would multiply with legalizing guns to kids. The 10% ruin the chances for the other 90%.
IT IS AN EXTREMELY BAD IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!Even though i would like it to happen ![]() |

I guess I should have been more clear. I don't think kids under the age of 18 should be able to buy any weapons. Under parental consent, where the parent goes and buys the weapon FOR the child, yes. That's how my dad got me my first.
Now I have a 30-30, a 12 gauge shotgun, gettin a CAR-15 this September, and possibly a .308 before deer season starts. Like I said, it can be a very good experience, under the proper supervision. |

POOF*. The only reason that a lot of kids want to do something, i.e. buy a gun, is because they can't. The forbidden fruit is always more tempting. Just wait a few years then you will be able to buy a guy. I am almost 20 years old. I have NEVER owned a gun. The only gun we had in the house was a .357 that my dad had from his dad, I didn't even know we had the bastard until I was 16. I still haven't fired it. The first weapon that was "mine" was my M16A4 at basic. Then I had my M16A4/M203 when I got to my unit. These weapons were assigned to me but the weren't really mine. It is really not that big of a deal. Yeah, I will prob. buy a gun when I turn 21 but I am not in any hurry.
My experience from basic, with the guys coming in who grew up around firearms were WORSE off than the guys who hadn't. The guys who grew up with them acted like they knew what the POOF* was going on, when in all actuality they didn't have a damn clue about military weapons or how to properly handle them. POOF* Because you can buy a gun doesn't mean that you are gonna save the world. I applaude the sporting goods store for not allowing a minor to purchase something like an airsoft gun. Don't buy one of those pieces of garbage anyway. Its just for wannabes so they can go out into the woods and play soldier. Control your langauge, dont tell other members what to do please, try not to do back to back posting. And tone down the attitude 2 |
