I don't think anyone under 16 years old should be allowed to carry anything more than a BB gun.


So 16 would be your minimum age to even carry a firearm...but just two years later at 18 go ahead and put an M16 in his hands and ship him off to Afghanistan? That seems a bit ridiculous. 

I think 12 is a fair age for a kid to start shooting. But of course at that age it should just be a small calibre .22 rifle. Like I said in my other post, I'd rather be around a 14 year old with two years of gun experience, than an 30 year old who hasn't touched one before.
