Is this is serious question!?!?!
yes, this is in fact a serious question
1) grenades and bombs are federally regulated. besides, none of the college shootings featured explosive devices.
2) certain youths already possess firearms - legal age to purchase rifles and shotguns in most states is 18.
3) to obtain a concealed weapons permit in most states, one has to be 21. if i'm not mistaken the legal definition of an adult is 18+ years of age.
