That cannot be proven, in anyway. Bear in mind, any observation of the tree falling would be breaking the rule.
Actually, it can and has been. You should read up on some basic chemistry and physics, it's all there.
How could it be proven, when no observation is allowed? With no observation to base it on, how would facts be built upon it? How can you prove, that this world isn't a dream?

Why would you judge someone on their age? Certain people have hills and valleys regarding education, but disallowing them from exploring something they like because "HIGHSCHOOL KIDS" is stupid.
Not to sound like a prick, but guns require someone with a brain to pull the trigger. They are not going to randomly go BLAM BLAM BLAM without reason.
But back to the topic... I've never stated it's taking all matters of morale choice, but rather it's taking away their choice of owning a weapon for whatever reason they may have
I'll admit that was pretty badly worded, but in the terms of defense it stands quiet true. Someone which isn't exactly physically fit[scrawny or fat] is able to defend their own against a full brute if they are armed.
Humans made tools to even the playing field or to have advantages over their opponents.
Also such a society wouldn't be possible.
-Engines have existed for 100's of years. Any man/women which tinkers with the mechanical components of an engine deserves to die.
-Aircraft have existed since the late 1600's[possibly sooner], but if you decide to fly aircraft as a hobby you deserve to kill yourself.
-Tinker with old boats, and learn how we made steel monsters float? You should go drown because you are doing something innovative.
I don't judge what another man or women does with their time, but if they choose to research and innovate... Let them.
That was a massive failquote, Had to spend some time edit that out..
About the age.. Wow.. No arguments there. Yes, why wouldn't we let all children have access to guns, vehicles like cars and airplanes etc. because, there might be 1 out of a million that is actually smart. Face it, judging people by a number is how our society is built. You are not considered independent by the state until you are 18, you may not drink until you are 21 etc.
In terms of defense? How about in terms of offence? Guns being legal spikes murder incredibly, either way.
"taking their choice of having a weapon".. So having an atom bomb would be okay according to you? I mean.. It's your weapon, it's for self protection. If I want an atom bomb in my yard, who can stop me?
But I'm sure you'll say "oh but that is an exaggeration", but is it? Where does the proverbial line between too much and too little in this go? And the way you stated it, there shouldn't be one. Choice of weapon is every american's right.
And the last argument is so ridiculous I wont even go into it. I know you read into what I said as "dying", but I didn't say that at all. I said "shoot themselves accidentally", which is a whole other world. And they do. Being a redneck hillbilly tinkering with his guns in the backyard, which is, fyi, a weapon and NOT an engine, plane or car, deserves to get shot by his own gun, for irresponsibility. Seriously, tinkering with guns should be cool? That is an incredibly loose and unserious approach to gun control, they are not toys, they are weapons, they should only be used in incredible times of danger, not for some redneck to show off is incredibly machoness.
