When I was that age teens NEVER had these kind of weapons/guns. There was no thought EVER about some kid/teen being a threat like this where there was any thought about acting out this way.
I agree in that the age limit might be best if a bit higher, maybe 21 y.o.?
Do you know that this type of weapon is the number one choice for women for their home self-defense? Should they, as adults, be able to choose this? There are reasons they choose this gun, practical reasons.
I feel they should have the freedom to choose and to feel safe.
Just my own humble opinion.

That said, something has to be done that will truly help in stopping these horrific school/mass shootings. The answer is complicated. yet, we must get a handle on this asap.
