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.

If you were a juvenile delinquent would you be able to purchase a firearm legally?
That depends. In the US, persons that have been convicted of a felony (serious crime such as murder, robbery, rape, grand larceny) loss their right to possess a firearm. In the case of a juvenile, tried as an adult, the same law applies. If a juvenile is tried as a juvenile, and is found "not innocent" of a crime that would be a felony for an adult, then they are also prohibited from possessing a firearm. Example- 15 year old commits an armed robbery, is arrested, tried as a juvenile, is found "not innocent" of armed robbery= now prohibited from possessing any firearm. The same 15 year old is arrested for shoplifting a $15 CD, and is found "not innocent" of petty theft MAY possess a firearm once they become an adult,
