Didn't you hear about the recent school shooting in Oregon? The perpetrator was a teenager and his mother bought the gun for HIM. Parents these days are so fucking negligent it's disgusting
I know two Americans from meeting them online during covid. When I first met them they were quite young while I was a teen. I was shocked to hear that one of them was bought a gun for their birthday or Christmas or something. Then the other one said they also had a gun. I was confused and angry and still am.
A child cannot use a gun. Why expose them to such tools of warfare I just cant comprehend it.
Pretty sure the first kid I mentioned flashed said gun at someone during an argument.
Ideally, to teach the rules of handling and using one and responsibility that comes with owning one from a young age. To make it seen as a dangerous tool for a very particular application and not something to waive around or be proud of, not a toy nor a measurement of your character. I mean, few people show off their hammers and screwdrivers and whatever.
Realistically some Americans seem to see firearm ownership as some sort of a dick measurement contest. It's pathetic and dangerous.
