Oh, this is a great story.
The BBC reports that baby Bubba Ludwig (I kid you not, that's his real name), at 10 months, was able to get a gun licence in the state of Illinois. The best part is that the license includes his picture and signature (a squiggle).
The worst part is that his application was rejected – twice – before it was finally accepted.
It appears that age is no restriction for the possession of firearms, in spite of the fact that Illinois has "gun laws that are said to be among the strictest in the US."
Argh. I CANNOT understand this last statement. How can a child be registered as a gun owner? Do we really want to make it easier for new Columbines, Dawnson Colleges, and Virgina Techs?
