You mix teenagers and guns and it doesn't really matter how nice the mall is.
As the parent of a teenager, I know exactly how moody they can get and how quickly their moods can change from happy to "I will fucking kill a motherfucker." I wouldn't give a teenager a gun in a million years.
The idea of mandatory enlistment gives me nightmares. But also the fact that you can be old enough to kill but not old enough to be trusted with alcohol or tobacco. That is just ludicrous on the face of it. This nation is a madhouse.
