Well, let's see, the shooting occured in a mall, so it's pretty safe to 
assume that the gun used was a handgun.

Federal law makes it ILLEGAL for anyone under the age of 21 to buy a handgun 
or handgun ammunition.

Suspect was 19.

Is committing a federal felony with a manditory minimum sentence of 5 years 
in jail how you define "unfettered access"????

IOW, you are either extraordinary ignorant, stupid, liar or some combination 
of these.
