    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 say it was good age. He simply stated what his life experience was.

        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.
