Freedom, like all things, has limitations. How many people need to jump out of planes? Damn few. Could we ban it for most people, absolutely. The insurance companies sure do.No teen needs to hunt. It's for sport not survival. We've already addresses that.Game. You can get a hunting license at 12. If you really don't like firearms then you can get an aprentice falconry license at 14 and use a wild raptor to kill the same game animals.What does a 16-year-old need to kill?
Who said anything about "need"? We don't "need" to jump out of perfectly functioning airplanes. We don't "need" to drive 20 mph faster than everyone else on the road. We don't "need" to eat delicious food that isn't healthy for us. We do it because we want to, and that's what freedom is, the ability to do what you want without a nanny government telling you that you can't.
So then you are anti-individual freedom and the freedom to make your own decisions? You think that government knows best and should make decisions for us? You do realize that government is made up of people (citizens) as well? They are really no better or knowledgeable than anyone else. Why do you worship them so?
