The only invention like that which is in so many homes and is also used as a mass killing machine. To some we got this right, and they can provide myriad perceived justifications for their rightness.It is the argument that counters the "Well, cars are weapons!" people that think guns are merely some tool that is just as good at, I dunno, hammering nails, scraping paint, as it is at killing people. That argument. The point being that the gun is the only one of these "tools" that was explicitly and singly designed to kill humans, regardless of whatever use humans will put those other tools in service of doing, outside of their intent.
I experienced much danger in the form of violent bullying when I was a kid. I can only thank the maker that I didn't respond with a knife, or worse, had access to a gun; my immature mind and the relentlessness of the bullying may have caused me to seek one of those tools.And yet we have the arbitrary number of 21 to protect us. I taught my kids to use knives (danger) well before third grade.
Nice to see you've recovered enough that you've taken your bullying to the forums.I experienced much danger in the form of violent bullying when I was a kid.

Too bad common sense fades with age.Seriously Homer? I'm plenty old enough to have used it polishing my church shoes on Sunday mornings.
In what way? By sharing my views? Got a link? I am never verbally abusive, and believe that that is never useful. http://www.portvapes.co.uk/?id=Latest-exam-1Z0-876-Dumps&exid=threads/the-importance-of-p-n.2525784/Nice to see you've recovered enough that you've taken your bullying to the forums.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly these threads degenerate into insult sessions.
Alcohol is damaging to developing brains of children. How responsible the child is is irrelevant. On the other hand, the danger of a firearm is completely dependent on the responsibility of the person using it, not the degree of physical development.Do you let your 3rd graders drink while supervised too? (As long as they are grown up and responsible about it, of course) Kid party at cabellas sponsored by smirnoff ice?
Hint - When you answer no, the reason is because alcohol is fucking dangerous. Continue to extrapolate.
Bigly behind, very Trumpmendous.lol, thats a trum america ass
The first page wasn't quick enough for you?Degenerate? It was that within the first page.
To everyone who went shooting when they were 6-12 years old or took their kids shooting... yeah, nothing happened.
I'm still very glad that this isn't legal in the UK since there is no way a 6-12 year old is mature enough to understand the possible consequences of firing at a target where they are not sure of where the bullet will land if they miss and considering that hunting is generally considered a good time to bring some liquor with you in the US I really wouldn't trust most adults to keep an eye on their kids either.
There is a HUGE difference between having your kids with you at a range (my kids were 13 and 14 when we did that the first time but long before that they were practising with air rifles which is a really good idea) where you know where the bullet goes if their aim is off and where they are not carrying their gun around or taking shots they probably shouldn't take.
However, after having numerous discussions on this I don't actually think that adults in the US are much better than those kids considering that they have never had to qualify for a hunting licence and that most of them don't really seem to care about higher ground or background drops at all, nor do they seem to care that a couple of beers or some cognac to warm the chest makes their endeavour completely illegal and their idiotic behaviour reprehensible.
I trust that Englishmen follow the rules to a T and with the teams I've hunted with for over 40 years now there has never been any question, no drinking before you put your gun in your safe and no kids on the grounds.

The pretentiousness, it is palatable.
If you feel bullied (and therefore threatened) by differing views, why are you on the Internet?Nice to see you've recovered enough that you've taken your bullying to the forums.
You could just stick your finger in your nose and go "hurrr" to present your argument, it would work just as well as the one you just made...
Your suggestion is that you are so incredibly inferior and cannot figure out the simplest of things and thus I'm pretentious for applying COMMON FUCKING SENSE to a situation...
Well, it might work with people stupider than you but it sure as hell wont' work with anyone with an IQ over 60.

What are the rules limiting the age of children in other states? (Sorry if that's already mentioned; I haven't managed to read all 200 posts yet.)
I wasn't aware that were any. If not, is this really the bid deal the OP makes it out to be?
