The only reason why people think all teenagers with any weapon is dangerous is because the responisbilities they are given are much less than they can handle. Why is it that adults believe teenagers are still children, and yet we are able to reason better than children (at least most of them)? Not only that but 60 years ago teenagers were married and having children at this point. So back then they were not responsible enough to carry a gun? It seems our society lowers the standards on children as each generation comes. If anything more responsibilty should be placed on them so they understand the consiquences of stupid choices, such as playing with matches, guns. Also with drinking and drugs. What of getting behind a car? That is a huge weapon for some. So we should ban all teenagers from using those too because they are 'too young,' and not responsible enough. The only reason why teenagers act the way they do us because society expects them to. If there was a higher standard more teenagers would live up to that standard.
