If the GOP and especially the NRA had their way, there would be no line. If a 9 year old girl can accidently kill her instructor at a gun range by firing an Uzi because a bunch of asshole adults thought it would be fun for her, it would say to me "While the girl didn't legally own the Uzi and technically didn't own it, I guess her lifetime of future PTSD is ok".
No, it is not illegal to give a car to someone who can't drive one. But why the fuck would you do that in any case? If you write a will leaving anything to a kid, there is still the morality of age use. The NRA doesn't give a shit about age use, otherwise why did a 9 year old accidentally kill her instructor because a bunch of asshole adults thought it would be ok for a 9 year old girl to handle an Uzi?
It's not the point despite you being the one that brought it up. Your analogy sucked shit and you're too much of a douche bag to own it.
Ok, so it is OK for kids to do do adult things?
FYI, my late adoptive father died when I was in my early teens. He left me a 22 rifle when he died. I was way less than 18 or 21 at that point.
Even prior to his death or the riffle, as a kid, I played with BB and pellet guns in the 70s. I damned near injured myself and others in "playing" at the time what I thought were just toys.
If you want to know why I rail against gun worshipers it was because of one event, after his death with the 22 he left me.
One day, playing with the 22 rifle he left me, way after his death, in the basement of a tiny TOWNHOUSE, I decided to test the 22 in target practice IN A FUCKING TINY TOWNHOUSE BASEMENT.
I decided to put TWO phone books in it's center of a buffet tea kettle and perched it on what was at the time, my late dad's workbench. I stood at the long edge of the basement on the opposite side. I pulled the trigger and the bullet went not only from the metal of the kettle, but through both books of the phone books, and put a dent in the last layer of the tea kettle.
It was at that point seeing how a low caliber bullet/gun could penetrate a tea kettle and phone books, I decided guns are not something you fuck with.
