Search Results: if you could change a law

In my view one should need parental consent to own a firearm if they are under the age of 21.

In the instance of parental consent this would have prevented a lot of school shootings operating under the assumption that most of these kids were loners and would not have otherwise had the proper connections to secure a firearm illegally.

Therefore I conclude this change in law could very well have made a difference, while still protecting the rights of law abiding citizens.

It is for this reason I propose teenagers should not be able to legally purchase firearms for themselves.

Since teenagers are not fully mature and their brains are still developing, that is why I find it best to leave it up to the parent’s discretion as to whether or not they can own a firearm.

Considering how immature and irresponsible that most teenagers tend to be I think its naturally safest. Even if most of them don’t necessarily go on to become school shooters, they are often ill equipped in terms of the personal responsibility that would be needed to properly care for a firearm.

Especially with voting they tend to make very bad and uninformed decisions.

My point being as a recent teenager myself, I don’t trust most of my peers to act responsibly with guns or alcohol for that matter, since most of them lacked mental maturity and would likely not be handling things responsibly and safely even if they weren’t necessarily set to become school shooters.

I understand that they can still join the military at 18 and handle guns but its an entirely different situation when you are under a chain of command and supervisors that are there to discipline you, train you and hold you accountable

I was doing research for the urban fantasy book I am currently writing. Was looking for a name to call these pocket areas of magic created by a warlock gang where if you step into these zones, anything on your person that you deem as valuable will be lost /stolen immediately. I was considering using the term bubble zones but when I looked it up, this is what it said:

A bubble zone is a designated area around a clinic which offers reproductive health services. Within the bubble zone, only staff and clients of the clinic may be present, along with supporters accompanying clients to appointments. Bubble zone laws are put in place to protect women's access to reproductive health services, particularly abortion, and also for safety reasons. Clinic protesters can sometimes become quite heated, and a mandatory buffer zone can reduce tensions between clients, picketers, and staff, reducing the risk of conflict. Furthermore, a group of protesters could potentially impede access by law enforcement, emergency services, and other government agencies which might need rapid access to the clinic.

Do you have a positive or negative view of these Bubble Zones?

Oh, and no I didn't use bubble zones in my book. I decided to use looter zones instead. May be subject to change if I can think of something better.
