14. Can a six-year-old load a 9mm handgun?

I doubt very much that the gun was lying around unloaded and the kid loaded it himself. You have to pull out the magazine and slide the bullets into it one at a time, and as you add more bullets it gets harder to load the magazine because as you add rounds, the spring is compressed more and the tension becomes stronger. I don't think a 6-year old could do it.
