You're ignorant about gun laws and owe someone a huge apology:
Minimum Age to Purchase & Possess in Arizona
Last updated September 30, 2016.
Arizona prohibits any person from selling or giving a firearm or ammunition or a toy pistol from which dangerous and explosive substances may be discharged to a person under age 18 without written consent of the minor’s parent or legal guardian.1
Arizona law prohibits an unemancipated person under age 18 from knowingly carrying or possessing a firearm on his person, within his immediate control, or in or on a means of transportation, in any place that is open to the public or on any street or highway or on any private property (except private property owned or leased by the minor or the minor’s parent, grandparent or guardian). This prohibition does not apply if the minor is accompanied by a parent, grandparent, or guardian, or a certified hunter safety instructor or certified firearms safety instructor acting with the consent of the unemancipated person’s parent or guardian.2
This prohibition also does not apply to a person who is 14 to 17 years of age and who is:
Engaged in lawful hunting or shooting events or marksmanship practice at an established range or other area where the discharge of a firearm is not prohibited;
Engaged in lawful transportation of an unloaded firearm for the purpose of lawful hunting;
Engaged in lawful transportation of an unloaded firearm between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. for the purpose of shooting events or marksmanship at an established range or other area where the discharge of a firearm is not prohibited; or
Engaged in an activity requiring the use of a firearm that is related to the production of crops, livestock, poultry, livestock products, poultry products, or ratites or in the production or storage of agricultural commodities.3
Arizona places no additional restrictions on the purchase or possession of handguns, although federal age restrictions still apply.

Only had to read to the second state to find the first. And in most states I can buy a firearm at 18 but can't by a drink until I'm 21.
If you read farther you'll find more states that explicitly allow 16 or over to buy firearms.
Hint:
Minimum Age to Purchase & Possess in Colorado
Last updated September 30, 2016.
In Colorado, any person under age 18 may not knowingly possess a handgun, except:
When in attendance at a hunter’s or firearms safety course;
During lawful firearm or target shooting;
During certain organized competitions or performances;
When hunting or trapping with a valid state license;
When traveling to or from such activities as previously noted;
When on property under the control of the person’s parent, legal guardian or grandparent with the permission of such person’s parent, legal guardian or grandparent; or
When at the person’s residence, with the permission of the person’s parent or legal guardian, for the purpose of lawful self-defense.1
Colorado does not provide a minimum age to possess rifles or shotguns. Colorado also provides no minimum age for the purchase of a handgun or a long gun, although federal age restrictions still apply.
For additional age-related restrictions, see the Colorado Child Access Prevention section.
