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 respect your opinion on this but the second amendment was written for protection not hunting. No gun kills people. People kill people. I do agree that the age should be higher, but then are we saying we send our kids to war at 18 and trust them with multi million dollar defense systems and not allow them to own a firearm on their home soil? If someone has that evil intent they will find a way to carry it out. The system failed this kid and the victims of the shooting.
