So by your assessment it should be illegal to teach someone how to safely use firearms till 18. That is silly.

And by your own logic, it's perfectly safe (and should be legal) to have your 8 or 9yo kid driving around the streets in your car with you sitting beside them??
Now that's silly!!

And yes, it's tantamount to the same thing.


ETA: road sense also needs to be ingrained so it becomes second nature too!!

A couple of minor points that were clearly beyond your reasoning ability.
A a shooting range is a vastly more controlled environment that city streets
B if they are on private property there is no law against a 9 year old driving, don't know what it is like there but any kid who lives on a farm in this country is driving by 10 or eleven, on their parents property. And it is legal.

A) I don't agree. The recent incident (one of many and the point of this thread) proves that point.
B) It's the same here.

On private land, it comes down to responsibility.
Just the sheer number of gun deaths in the US compared to anywhere else proves to me that there are waay too many gun owners who are not responsible. Period.

LMFAO!!!!

I live in a country where I have NO fear of being shot or killed by a gun.
My kids and their friends have that same sense of security no matter where they go.
I have more chance of being struck twice by lightning.

You can't say that of the US of sunny fucking A.
I haven't lost anything, except maybe my sanity trying to make you see sense.

Pointing out that the brits on this site like to crow about how much better things are over there isn't playing the "oppressed" card. It's simply pointing out facts. So I guess if you never learn anything else you might want to learn that we really don't give a rats ass how much better you think it is.

Take a look CLOSELY for 2011... remember gun deaths are listed as homicides even if accidents... This is an Unintentional Injury deaths by age pdf.

Do you think there were enough for you 14 and below to consider a law like I proposed?

Then maybe you can explain what he meant when he said "keeping kids completely away from such items" and "and that would include the teaching/handling of weapons until they reached the designated age." because it sure sounds like he thinks it should be illegal to teach someone how to safely use firearms till they reach that magic age. Unless of course you plan on teaching them with videos and books and not let them actually see a gun. Because that won't encourage them to take a look when they are alone. Yea, good plan.

We have drawn the line at the age of majority for most things as being 18. Not perfect, I know. For more dangerous things, alcohol, handgun ownership and so on, the bar is set at 21.

Imperfect, but sort of where we are cooking our beans these days.


Incorrect you can buy a gun from a private seller in the majority of states at 18.

Tweak posed the question of laws to stop children being 'exp18osed' to such weapons, not the owning of them.
I interpret that as keeping kids completely away from such items (like tobacco & booze etc) and that would include the teaching/handling of weapons until they reached the designated age.

So by your assessment it should be illegal to teach someone how to safely use firearms till 18. That is silly.

I will not bother with quotes, dumbasses not being capable of the most basic English comprehension.

You people gotta quit taking fucking stupid pills, you are already shitbreathing imbeciles.
