What bothers me is some people (lamebro, plad) at 12 years of age have loving pistols. I wouldn't be even allowed near a tiny BB gun yet they get a real gun?
Exactly, anybody under the age of 18, maybe higher, should not be allowed near firearms.
But if they shoot themselves in the foot it isn't our problem.
You make it seem like having a bunch of weapons is a problem
I don't mind people having quite a few weapons if they can justify having that many, IE: living in a bad neighborhood, living in a place with hostile wildlife. But holy stuff why the forget would you need more than two BB guns.
When you live in a wooded area you always want weapons.
Foxes, coyotes, and all those other wildlife animals are everywhere.
I wouldn't leave the house without a hatchet personally because of the large number of coyotes.
Odd, I rarely ever see animals, so I suppose I wouldn't know.
But, Jesus, it's not like you're going to need a machinegun with that rifle.
