Can a 13 year old buy a gun legally?

My guess is this 13 year old is a "set-up" by the anti-gun crowd. All states require a "long gun" buyer to be 18 years of age, and on handguns 21 years of age.

 

You can't even buy a BB gun legal until age 18.

 

I agree!

 

It's a false set up by the anti-gun crowd.

 

While I'm certain this is an attempt by the anti-gunners to make the current laws look bad, do not ever doubt but what there are always some people who sell you anything, regardless of your age. Just look at all the places that get in trouble for selling liquor to teenagers, same way with cigarettes as well.

 

You have to be 18 to buy a knife. Ignore the video. Anti-gunners.

 

Got to be 18 to a buy a gun but yet we turn 16 yo's loose with them come gun season.

Back before KDFWR lowered the youth gun season age I remember driving myself to a WMA for the youth hunt.

I think the numbers will back up that vehicles are more deadly than guns.

 

I hunted by myself when I was 9.

 

I did it when I was a kid and nobody thought anything about it......We could drive a pickup to school with a shotgun in the gun rack........And were things worse then? How many school shootings did we have in the 60s and 70s? Something has changed and it isn't the guns!

 

Its a shame but we have people that will sell hard drugs to a 12 year old a 22 rifle is small potato's to some. It ends up all being about the money.
As far as the shootings, we never had video games where you just tap a spot on a screen and everything is all better and nobody dies. Yes I do place blame on the video games for a lot of our problems.

 

That's funny duster. You might as well extend the blame to Hollywood movies, music lyrics, economic disparity, social norms and injustice, gun and ammunition manufacturers, the weather (violent crime increases when the temperature does), large corporations for putting undue stress upon the populous, and so on and so forth....just as long as you don't blame the individual who willfully decides to start killing people. Smart.

 

I played those games growing up, still do a little, and I haven't killed anyone in 39 years. Weird.
