It disturbs me to try to picture children carrying weapons. Remember, she is 14 years old and there is still nothing in the tape that indicates a physical threat to her. The only physical threat contained in the video that displayed an obvious threat was from her.

In the US and subject to limited exceptions, federal law prohibits the possession (unlawful for a person to sell, deliver or otherwise transfer to a person who the transferor knows or has reasonable cause to believe is a juvenile) of a handgun or handgun ammunition by any person under the age of 18 with 18 U.S.C. § 922(x)(2). (And the exceptions are in 18 U.S.C. § 922(x)(3) which is about manufacturing and sales which has no age involved)

So I’m not sure if I want a 14 year old girl to possess a deadly weapon when she has displayed an insecure need in her mind to unveil or threaten to use. She didn’t need it but felt the necessity to approach and threaten with it. 14 is too young for legal possession in cases like hers. This is why the law limits it to 18.

Myself, I think 16 might be a little more in line with maturity to possess. The law considers being able to pilot a car in line so is that much different from the responsibility of possessing a weapon?
