    Well fuck me for being born into a different environment ig. Mass downvoting

    Are you sure that is the reason? Maybe it could be that posting that 13 is a good age for gun ownership in a thread about a 13 year old who used it wildly inappropriately? You are entitled to think what you want, I just personally find it a little distasteful everytime there is a gun death to make justifications about the system that allowed it to happen. I imagine others agree.

        He didn’t simply state what his life experience was. He said the age is “not insane”.

        Which, tbf, is not the same as saying it’s a “good” age.

          Eh, I feel like most people wouldn’t disagree with the statement “it’s insane to allow 13 year olds to own guns”, and the argument of “well I owned guns at 13 and I turned out fine” isn’t a strong one.
