NOBODY seems to avail themselves of the fact that it is ILLEGAL for these minors to posses a gun in the first place! It is against the laws in ALL 57 states already! Did The Laws stop them? Did The Laws prevent them from obtaining a gun? Did The Laws stop them from using the illegally obtained gun?
Short answer: No
And it never will................
The boys may not be old enough to buy a gun, but the 17 yo can rahe his pregnant girlfriend for an abortion and not have to notify her parents, in Australia.
