At Times, Would Gun Control Mean Fewer Criminals Owning Them?

   You need to be 18 to buy a gun in Florida, and Nikolas Cruz was 18 when he bought one. Would he have bought one at 17 if he had been allowed? Would he not have gotten a gun at 18 if the age limit were 19? Does when it becomes legal for a person to buy a gun affect when he obtains one, at least sometimes? People say that if you outlaw guns, the outlaws will just get them some other way. But, can't we see that is too much of a generalization? Are there times when if you make it just a little hard for them to get a gun, they don't end up getting one?
