For Murder?

Currently it's 14 in Canada.

I think by the time you're 12 you're old enough to realize that pointing a gun at someones head and pulling the trigger will most likely equal death, and, this murder,is punished.

There is no set age in America.
They have tried 8 year old for first-degree murder.

And depending on the circumstances, I don't agree with having a set age.

18, simply because until your brain has developed properly you are influenced by stupid things like your friends and video games and wanting to be in the gang and some guy fucking your girlfriend. Teenage years are a time of trivial disagreements being blown out of proportion. They do not equal evil peoole.

I agree with this, however, I do think that anyone under the age of seven should not be eligible for blame in a murder case. That's my line; I don't want any kindergartners charged for murder.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that a gun will lead to death.
