There are age limits for different types of guns, i know here in mass you can buy a shotgun or a rifle at 18, but you cant buy a handgun til 21 i believe it is, though it may be 24.


Sorry, perhaps I didn't explain myself properly. I didn't meant to own a gun, I meant to shoot one. There are people who take their children to the shooting range and allow them to fire a weapon. They're even allowed to fire guns at some gun shows. I don't know if the laws vary by state, although I would imagine so. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of a small child firing a weapon.
