Are there restrictions on children, say 3 years old, owning a chainsaw? What about a musket, matchlock or black powder rifle? There are no current [federal] laws against this. There are all manner of "hyperbolic" scenarios you could come up with, all being irrelevant to reality. Children aren't ad hoc independent creatures roaming the world of their own devices- they require parents to make them. You could argue the quality in parenting has waned dramatically in the past century, but again, this isn't a genuine pretext to deprive millions of their rights.
Do you think grenades didn't exist before the 1930s? Do you think fully-automatic weapons didn't exist before then? The question I was answering in regard to age dealt with mere firearm ownership, which yes, in the 1950s kids had firearms and even brought them to school for firearms instruction classes. Again, I recommend some history, though it would seem you might be stuck in your way of thinking and aren't open to the possibility you're latched on to solving hypotheticals instead of real-world problems.
