Our society needs to rethink the subject of young people and guns.   Our current laws regarding kids using guns are clearly inadequate.

We do not allow people to drink alcohol until they are 21.   Yet, parents can give their kids access to deadly firearms that can commit mass murder and let them shoot them.   What kind of crazy logic is that?

Just this week the Lane County Board of Commissioners is moving to outlaw the use of tobacco by anyone under 21 too.   Soon, young people will not be able to smoke either, until they turn 21.

So just how utterly insane is it, to allow MUCH YOUNGER minors access to guns?   Gun use, possession, and ownership needs to be banned until a person turns 21, just like we do with alcohol and tobacco.

Guns are far more dangerous than alcohol and tobacco combined.
