According to Government.... @ 18 you can no longer tell Johnny, he cannot have a gun, mom!
It would behoove you to educate you son, about his rights and the use of those rights at a very early age, so he doesn't think it is a toy, when he gets his own gun at 18.
Just like the little boy who shot his grandmother, he had no idea what he was holding. Worse yet he must have never been told to not touch a gun or something he didn't know. My kids knew by the age of 3 guns kill birds, deer, elk and it could kill them or someone else.
To be fair......I am seeing more men not introducing their kids to guns than I see women. Women and guns are on the raise, no longer afraid to protect ourselves.
Kind of strange how the left associates babies and gun control........"babies are not babies" and "guns kill not people."
Depends on which subject you are discussing, since the question is really "At what age do you qualify for certain privileges/rights/options/responsibilities in our society?"
Privilege/Right/Option/Responsibility -- Age when you can (potentially) exercise the privilege.
The right to not be aborted -- Beginning of 3rd trimester (approx.); when the fetus is old enough to survive outside the womb.
The privilege to drive a car -- Age 16 (depends on the State).
The right to vote -- Age 18.
The option to join the Military (i.e., selling yourself into slavery for a period of time) -- Age 18.
The right to slowly start recouping the hundreds of thousands of dollars you probably paid in Social Security taxes over a lifetime of working -- age 65 (if you were born before 1959); age 67 (if you were born in 1961 or after).
Finally, the right to have your political opinion matter in government decision-making -- When you join The Ruling Class via (1) being elected to political office, joining the Corporate Elite (CEO, VP, Board of Directors), reaching adulthood in a Ruling Elite family, or having enough personal wealth to either buy politicians or buy media coverage pushing your agenda.
Yes, those are all people/persons.
People, has no age definition.
As in "We The People".
and
The "right of the people".
Now lets define the phrase, "Shall not be infringed", where people are involved.............
When the baby turns to a young person (12) buy him/her their own gun and a membership to the NRA.
You can call a fetus a baby whenever you want, that doesn't change the fact that it is still a fetus....or do you not know what a fetus is?
Fetus: an unborn or unhatched vertebrate especially after attaining the basic structural plan of its kind; specifically : a developing human from usually two months after conception to birth
The medical term for a baby still inside it's mother is fetus until it is born. Though another fun fact, the first couple months, it isn't even a fetus yet, it is still just an embryo.....I know, I know, mind blowing.
