California is currently having a lot of their gun laws attacked by the SCOTUS. Which state are you referring to? Most states make it borderline illegal, but not prison time illegal.

I can't see a 20 year old with a pistol in his apartment being illegal, but you never know with CA, NY, and the other hippie states.

@sSubZerOo It's also moronic you can die for the US constitution at 18, but it only applies to you(entirely) at the age of 21.

The comparison isn't stupid.

Ask the average person in the military to shoot a .45ACP - it'll be comical.

You fail an NRA safety course you're not given your permit; you may not think a permit is not enough, but the states disagree and state if you can pass a safety course you're trustworthy enough to carry a firearm.

lets be realistic the majority of the military is sitting behind a computer in an RV located somewhere in Afghanistan. They have a limit grasp on gun knowledge, or how to use a gun unless they're infantry men/spec ops.

If I train with Lee harvey Oswald my entire minor life on how to snipe there's no reason I shouldn't be given a CCW at 18, or be restrict on what I can or cannot buy at an FFL.

No, the body composition should be based on how the artist feel :P

Same, if a psychologist can prove the individual knew the consequences of their actions, and can show the individual knows the difference between right and wrong I think the sentencing should be treated the same whether they're a minor or not.

I'm aware, which is why I tried to fix the statement.

They simply can't unless the parents give in. A child can't physically eat at such a large caloric surplus out of the parents eye that they become physically obese.

No sharing a bag of chips, cookies, or a soda will do that. The child would have to go to someone home periodically and consume large amounts of food, which I'm sure the parent of the other child wouldn't like and inform the other parent.

If your child doesn't listen to you it's because you're a bad parent, and don't have ground rules that must be followed.

I'm sure if I called my mom a bitch my father would slap the holy shit out of me, but today it's "Oh he has ADD", or "Oh he's just acting out". Now I'm not promoting physical violence on children, but there's no way an adult can't have control over a child.

If we're talking teen years the obesity problem does lay on the child more, but still you can't drink soda if the parent doesn't buy any. One soda a day isn't going to result in a 300lb 16 year old

Cave men.

Because in America when you have a conceal carry permit they don't just hand you a gun and send you off on your way...

You're put into intense training under sharp supervision.... monitored by the state.

In America you can't just walk around with a gun without any form of training in 99% of the union (only the constitutional carry states allow the carrying of guns without any form of state/NRA run training).

You can be the most responsible 20 year old that can out gun any Navy Seal, but because you're not 21 and not in the military you don't have legal access to a handgun outside of straw purchases, or private sell, which one is illegal and the other dangerous

. I find it funny we can trust a 18 year old with an M16, but the 20 year old who goes to work in a bad area of town can't carry a gun for his protection even if he attends the mandatory gun safety courses mandated by the states.

*people in the military under 21 still can't purchase a handgun from an FFL holder.

That's the most insane thing I have ever heard.

Kids don't work they can't buy their own junk food. I understand single parents might buy their kids "quick fixes" if the child has to be left home alone for an hour or two, but lets be honest if you witness your child eating junk in the form of having to buy a dozen hotpockets a week you need to assure your child has adequate exercise, or the remainder of their meals be less calorically dense.

If you can't parent your child maybe you should forfeit it to the state.

So ignore the problem and it'll go away? The issue seems like nonsense. Being on the verge of diabetes is not something anyone should love, and a high school female being the same weight as a grown man needs to reevaluate their food consumption. Sure they might feel like shit for "feeling fat", but at least they're not dead or without limbs due to the diabetes they could be developing.

I hate seeing children who are a foot shorter than me, but 100lbs heavier. America needs to start blaming the parents because a child only eats what your provide them - if your child is 300lbs you should probably get a knock on the door from CPS.
