Reply to comment by GhostalMedia in Missouri votes against banning children from carrying guns in public by VidE27

I remember when I was 14 we'd drive into the desert after school and shoot stuff. We never harmed anyone with our rifles.

Sure, but on the other hand I have 14-year olds in my suburb who swerve into oncoming traffic on purpose to try and cause accidents.

Guarantee you they’d be regularly shooting guns in the air/ at moving car tires for entertainment. Because some 14-year olds are sensible, and some are absolute dumbasses. Some freedoms we as a society don’t get to have because too many people are dumbasses who will misuse the right without hesitation, and people will die.

Fucking around in the middle of nowhere is a wee bit different than downtown Saint Louis. A crowded city with America’s highest murder rate.

Dude you literally could have done the exact same thing with an air-soft rifle

That's not nearly as fun.
