Um what? I think you are missing my point. There still are laws preventing someone that young from driving. The way the NRA treats firearms, they would allow that 5 year old to drive. An adult can put their kids in their will, but that doesn't mean if they suddenly die while the kid is young, it means the kid can handle adult responsibilities.

Laws preventing them from driving cars, not from buying them.  You're comparing apples to oranges.

STILL NOT THE POINT.


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.

We had guns in the house when I was growing up. I went hunting with dad when I was little. My grandparents had guns at the farm. Later dad carried a pistol in his truck legally in case he had to put an animal down...such as a deer that had been hit but not killed...it went with his job as a vet.

Not one fucking time were any of my siblings, cousins, or I dumb enough to shoot at something that wasn't meant to shot. We did stuff like setting up cans for targets in the grandparents' timber but knew enough not to take a shot that might hurt any of the livestock or the dogs, cats, or songbirds.

The fact that you were, and still are, a mental midget, doesn't mean that others didn't learn when they were taught about how to handle firearms.

It depends upon what adult things you're talking about. In this case, it was owning cars. For which the answer is yes. Got any other bright arguments, fuckface?

I will literally pay for your vasectomy.

IIRC, it takes about 3 phone books. The kettle you added was probably the most unsafe part of the setup.

Counterintuitive, maybe, but it would have been even more apparent had you used hollow points.

Duh.....


It' s a solid lead bullet. Being a hollowpoint is moot. 22 hollowpoints are a marketing point - not a realistic design function. Regardless of the hollowpoint the bullet will mushroom.and flatten pretty much just the same depending on it' s velocity and the density of whatever it hits.

So Jeff flew to "space" or somewhere close to it (where pilots flew with airplanes in 1961). Back then, it was considered a triumph of science, but now I guess it's a triumph of never paying taxes?

[The Grand Nudger]

Duh.....

In the spirit of noteworthy news, I’d say what we learned is that Brian grew up with a cheap tea kettle.
