In Virginia, one could buy a .22 rimfire rifle under the age of 18 perfectly legal. What they failed to show in this clip, was he could not buy ammunition for it until he turned 18, so he had pretty much bought nothing more than an unwieldy club. They failed to show what all he could NOT buy which is, I believe, any other gun.
Yes this is old. I have see it over the years dredged up by anti-gunners for "See! See! See how easier it is for anyone to buy a gun!"
It is a good example of propaganda.
Ah, now it comes back to me. Federal law controlled the ammo purchase.Virginia and federal ammunition age restrictions.

President Biden on Monday took aim at 9mm handguns, appearing to suggest that the "high-caliber weapons" ought to be banned.
The president made the remarks outside the White House after returning from a visit to the site of a mass shooting in Texas where 21 people, including 19 elementary school children, were killed last week.
"They said a .22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out — may be able to get it and save the life. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body," Biden said.
"So, the idea of these high-caliber weapons is, uh, there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting," Biden added. "Remember, the constitution was never absolute."
