Why is committing armed robbery with a firearm a significant offense when committed by a juvenile?

The same reason it is a significant offense when committed by an adult. It shows a propensity towards violence (which is an indicator that the person will commit a violence offense again). Having a firearm is EXTREMELY dangerous especially when committing a robbery. You have no business robbing people, let alone using a gun to do so. You can be charged as an adult to, depending on the state, sometimes as young as 12 or 13 years old.

Can a felon have a black powder gun in ca?

Felon = Federally prohibited from possessing a firearm. It is considered illegal in every state for a convicted felon to be in possession of a firearm. By definition, a firearm is a weapon that is designed to expel a projectile by the action of smokeless or black powder. A felony firearm charge can also be brought against convicted felon who is found in possession of a firearm, regardless of the intended or actual use of the weapon. The offense level for this type of felony firearm crime also varies by state but is greater when the gun is loaded, kept or used unlawfully. The laws governing the penalties for felony firearm crimes vary by state and the specific circumstances of the crime. A person can also be charged in a felony firearm case when they knowingly purchase a firearm for a felon, an offense called "straw" purchasing. It is also a felony firearm crime to purchase, or otherwise handle, a firearm with the intent of furnishing it to a convicted felon.
