Constructed Response: When I Was Only Five Years Old

223 Words1 Page

Constructed response.

“When I was only five years old,he gave me a gun,specially made in Moscow for me, to shoot sparrows with.” This is the quote I chose. I chose this quote as it is very strange. The first strange thing I picked up on was he said “ when I was only five”. Right there he says I was ONLY five I emphasized the only as five is a very young age. The second strange thing was “ he gave me a gun”. It is absurd to give anyone under the age of twenty a gun. Twenty is the best age because you are more mature than. Twenty may not even be a the best age, because you are allowed to start drinking at twenty one and drinking and guns are not a good mix. You need to wait until you are sure that you are mature enough.

    Fake Guns Bring Real Pain Airsoft guns are sold as toys, but they are weapons that can bring harm to their owners, even death. Airsoft guns work by firing plastic pellets with gas or spring systems and most owners use them to simulate war games. They are sold to anyone over eighteen, but it is legal for any age to use them. The Federal law only requires an orange tip be on the end of the barrel during the selling or shipping of the airsoft gun.

    First of all, you are going to have to keep your firearm out of the reach of children so they would not have possession of the gun.

    I get that people hunt and like to shoot recreationally, but do an 18 year-old student or adult need the power to buy an assault rifle? The last point I’ll state is that our country should change the legal age to buy firearms. In 1984 Congress passed a law stating that the states raise the drinking age to 21 or lose 10% of federal highway funds. They did this, because scientist believed that at age 21 you’re body has finally reached its peak in growth, so Congress passes a law to protect its citizens’ health and well-being. So why not take this kind of action with gun control?
