I call BS. It's impossible for the 12 yr old to have a weapon of war since he isn't old enough to have it and it's illegal too. And I'm a little jealous since his has some upgrades I would like. ;-)

Multiple laws being broken.

There can be only one solution: more laws.

Collapsable butt stock, free float quadrail handguard, flip-up backup iron sights. No optic, though.

Thanks for having my 6 on this issue as we both no there will be folks who believe 12 year olds can simply walk into any NRA AR-15 discount store and pick one up. ;-)

And when a 12 year old is shot down on the streets there will be the inevitable cries of “he was just a baby”!

They didn’t say *why* he was walking down the street with a rifle.

Ah, the 15th Police District...the neighborhood of my youth. While there was a gun shop for decades closeby on Frankford Avenue, there were no NRA Discount AR-15 shops.

I can’t tell you how many times we walked down the road with loaded guns when I was a teenager. It was a lot.

My grandfather bought me my first .22 rifle when I was 10.

It was following him. Those things do have minds of their own you know.

Yeah, but it wasn’t an ASSAULT .22, or even CLOSE to ‘scary’ looking

Yep, shooting rats at the city dump
was great sport. No one around on
Saturday afternoon. With high dirt
banks on all four sides. Our city
cop would show up sometimes and
give us shooting pointers. We had
to walk thru town to get there,
and there would, at times, be
six or eight of us kids, rifles
loaded. I think the city was happy
with keeping the rat population
under control. I don’t recall a
single misfire, or near accident.
