I see, I hadn't considered that angle.

There is a minimum age for purchasing a gun, but that doesn't really cover "owning" so there might be some confusion there.

What are the laws regarding what an un-emancipated minor actually owns? I don't know, but I suspect that there are some laws suggesting that a minor's property is actually owned by his or her parents or guardian.

The could have possession of a firearm, but could they legally be said to "own" the firearm?

I'm sure that some places have laws governing if and when a minor can possess a gun and whether or not adult supervision is required.

Well there is the saying that Possession is 90% of the law.

If a convicted Felon is carrying a gun, but its legally owned by someone else, he's still charged for possession of a firearm.

That's just an idiom, it doesn't actually mean anything in a legal sense.

Ownership of the firearm is irrelevant in your example, since a felon is prohibited from possessing a firearm, which also encompasses owning one.

So we've had both ebola and guns in a thread about pedo teachers? And nobody's called Bingo yet?

At this point references to the dakka bingo should be on the bingo card.

That's a bingo!

What's the legal age of consent in that state?

I think we need a sticky with a bingo card that can be printed out.

I agree child abuse is a thing. My point is how things change. 16 you can drive a car, own a gun, be tried as an adult. Join the marines under certain circumstances. But not have sex?

How can you own a gun at 16? and you're usually only tried as an adult for the most heinous crimes/repeated offenses

There is no federal legislation setting a minimum age for long gun ownership, nor should there be in my opinion: in rural areas younger boys and girls hunting is both natural and needed. Some states have set a limit, anywhere from 14 to 18 to not at all, but in almost all the ones that do have a limit there is a parent or guardian while hunting exception.

As referenced to someone else, yeah, what I was getting at was I guess how someone could purchase a gun under 18, though I'm not sure; could you technically own a gun your father gave you if you were say 14?

From what I've seen here, AoC is 17. But it doesn't matter-it was taped. And it was teachers and student. So AoC doesn't even matter too much, as ALL the other rules were broken anyway.

I still don't understand how 16&17 yr old kids in some states are allowed to consent to sex, but sending nudies to their SO is illegal. And, it's not that I'm suggesting the nude pics are okay-rather that they should be more harmless than actually having sex...but the sex is okay, the pics aren't. It's weird. Seems backwards.

Maybe because the pictures will be around long after the sex has been reduced to a faint odour and a notch on the bedpost?

Definitely. Also, because of Child Porn laws. Once a picture is taken it can fairly easily wind up on the web. It's illegal to create and/or disseminate sexual pictures of underage minors. Even if they are pictures of ones self.

Child porn jokes. Stay classy Dakka

That...that was actually really funny.

I'm sorry if you're of the feline genetic lineage.

I certainly didn't mean any harm to your offspring.

That's not funny. What if a cat was reading this thread?

If only those teachers had guns. Thanks Obama!
