I agree with you that parents should be responsible, but your argument is clearly flawed.

> you can get in trouble if you recklessly leave around or provide alcohol/guns/cigarettes for a minor to start using

In the example here, there are 3 things where age verification is required AND parents have responsibility.

It’s not just one or the other.

The same responsibilities are not “thrown out”, they are never acknowledged in the first place.
