You called it "entirely out of control" That implies that you favor control and would likely support efforts to deny people their civil rights.
The problem is you're comparing the halves of two different coins. Giving an adult the means to defend themselves vs an underage person illegally possessing something. Apples and oranges my friend.

-The answer will have to do.
-I am in favor of some form of control. Support a control is not supporting efforts tot deny a civil right. Do we really need fully auto rifles with magazines that hold 50 rounds? In my mind, unless you are defending yourself in a wartime situation, a fully auto capable of holding 50 rounds is overkill for "home defense." The word "control" is simply over defined. The good upstanding people my have their guns if they desire. It is their civil right. There just won't be any that hold 50 rounds capable of mowing down the entire lot of mall patrons. So, everyone can get a gun. Just not one particular kind of gun. Were then has a civil right been denied?
-Apples and oranges? But, wait, the responsible adults ready to take on accountability for their weapons is forming up to be a myth. The kids are still getting the weapons from the parents lot of firearms as you have assumed since my first post in this thread. The apples have become the enablers for the oranges.
