Jolly, with all due respects, there never was a statement that said that the parents approve.

Further on the BATF form that one must sign, it states that the gun is for "one-self" and is not being bought for someone else.

There was never a statement that the use of such a firearm was to be supervised by an adult and there was never any statement about the care of the firearm to be in the hands of an adult.

I'd have been delighted to help "Dad" or "Mom" if one of them would have asked about a firearm for a youngster.....but an 11 year old youngster?

I'm heartened by his good wishes and generocity to his sibling but he really should be working thru his parents or guardian.

I fully concurr that it's highly unlikely that anyone would sell an 11 year old a firearm.....especially Wallyworld, but there's folks out there selling them cocaine right now!

I certainly don't know this young lad and I doubt that anyone on this forum does either. I'm confused as to why anyone would aid and abed in assisting this 11 year old boy buy a firearm for a 7 year old sister.

This is strictly a matter for his parents or guardian. With all due respects folks, I'm keeping my position on this issue.
