age limit
edit(Even though there are age laws on Airsoft guns, federal regulations do not prohibit actual gun purchases by all ages.)
Federal age limits on actual firearm purchases from licensed dealers are 18 years of age for rifles and shotguns and 21 years of age for handguns and all purchasers must pass a federal criminal background check (see www.atf.gov/firearms/faq ATF Online, Firearms, Frequently asked questions). The claim that there are age laws on Airsoft guns, but no age laws on real guns is not true. Naaman Brown (talk) 21:52, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
This might be a dumb idea but it might be cool to have an entirely different page for age limits in each state. Trickdog0904 (talk) 20:45, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Legitimate self-defense
editIf someone is menaced with a toy gun that looks like a real one, answers with a real weapon (including a knife, or a boxer's or karateka's bare hands), and severely wounds or even kills his aggressor, this is legitimate self-defence: the menaced person "was in no position to know" that the attacking weapon was not a "real", deadly, one. (This of course does not apply if the menacing weapon was e.g. a bright green transparent water pistol.) There is jurisprudence to this effect in various countries but I don't have the particulars at hand. I believe the article ought to mention it. Tonymec (talk) 00:22, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
