Why does a 13-year-old have access to guns?
Bad parenting.
It's not just parenting. There are crap parents worldwide, yet this only regularly happens in one place.
E: downvote all you want. Remove my comment if you want. You know it to be true. This is a US thing. Stop worshiping your guns.
And if you are to have them, keep them in a safe, inaccessible to children, when not in use. The fact that this is a controversial statement to Americans is insane.
You can't just handwave away gun problems as "oh it's the parent's fault, nothing can be done"
It's not guns, it never was done. It's lack of good education, farming it out like it's just some subscription thing. People aren't learning practical information in schools. We don't teach kids how to think, or how to deal with anger in their mind. And they get up and they grow up to be these idiot full grown adults who don't know how to think past them not liking a person because of skin color, they go with their first wins because they're idiots, they get a hold of guns because only idiots need guns. And then they do something stupid. Thinking it's just guns is fucking stupid. Guns don't hurt people people do blah blah blah, it's true people suck now. They're dumb they don't read and they should shoot themselves in the head next time
It's guns.
People from other countries aren't just intrinsically superior to Americans. We haven't all trained our kids to be paragons of virtue. It's that any American can trivially get a gun.
It's that simple. It's guns.
