Well observed.



Back to the OP, I guess that the thing that freaks me out is cultural rather than legal, and that's that anyone thinks a tool designed purely to kill is a good thing for a child.

Forget the 10 month old, the fact that someone wants to give it to a 14 year old down the line bemuses me.

Would it not be better to have put the cash on deposit for 14 years? If as has been said earlier it is a valuable gun (and if someone can name a $$ value I'd be interested) would the kid not maybe get some valuable use from the investment as seed capital for his majority?
