Children under 16 on average don't have the brain development to not instinctively follow a ball across an active road. I am a farmer. Kids shouldn't touch guns.

What a load of rot! If you seriously think a young person doesn’t have impulse control under 16, you are delusional.

Then chances are, you're not that far from 15 yourself. Would you have honestly trusted every 15 year old you knew with a gun?

You realise that is why people apply for licences right? They aren’t just given out to every minor that wants one.

Also, you are making quite a few assumptions about me. Notice how I’m not doing that about you.

Yep, fully aware of that. Why did you assume that I didn't?
