Not trolling, just curious your logic.
I don't even like to see kids with a 10/22.
The real problem is that an autoloader is always ready to fire, with minimal trigger force, whether the shooter is or not.
The only solution to this problem is training and maturity.
Smaller mag helps only a little in that the shooter will count his rounds and be more aware. But I have seen too many younger shooters do some pretty wild things. I always stand right next to them, ready to instantly control the muzzle until they have had significant experience.
We were talking about under 21. You keep saying “kids”.
How about a 20 year old with a .357 with heavy trigger pull.
“The real problem is that an autoloader is always ready to fire, with minimal trigger force, whether the shooter is or not.”
That depends on the firearm. Most autoloading pistols and rifles don’t come with 3.5 lb trigger pulls. We’re not talking here about babies being unable to squeeze a 9-11 lb trigger on a revolver.
We’re talking mind set.
If a teen/young adult is going to shoot up a crowd, he’s going to do with with any gun he gets his hands on.
