An 18 year old should be able to buy rifles, shotguns, and handguns. Alcohol too, but that’s an argument for forums that love freedom and allow off-topic conversations.
Prior to 18, it should be up to the parent/guardian. By the time I was 14 I borrowed Dad’s Marlin 39a whenever I wanted, and I got my “own” gun at 16 when I asked my parents if I could have an 870 instead of a class ring. I just bought my daughter an M&P 15-22 for her 10th birthday, but she still isn't allowed to use it without me around so it stays in my safe.
