Agreed. I don’t care about the bump stocks at all. What do you think of raising the age from 18 to 21, though?
Whatever they do to gun ownership, do likewise to voting rights. Need to be 21? Okay. Need to have positive ID. Ok. IF they are both Rights, treat them equally.
There will be no gun control legislation signed into law. They wrote a memo about bump stocks. That’s it. Now the Washington Post is happy.
I’m for raising the age on Ar-15 and the like to 21 yrs. No reason for a kid to have such a weapon if he’s a student at home or in school.
The biggest trouble with banning bump-stocks, is that they aren’t simply definable - and the language in proposals put forth so far go waaaaay beyond actual bump-stocks.
” I don’t care about the bump stocks at all.”
A lot of people don’t really care about guns and won’t mind if yours are banned.
” What do you think of raising the age from 18 to 21, though?”
If you’re going to do that, then raise the voting age too.
And the age at which you can undergo medical therapy/procedures if you believe you are transgender.
And the age at which you can have an abortion without parental permission.
And the age at which you can enter contracts and have other adult rights/permissions, like getting married.
I say anyone who pays for their own health insurance should be able to carry.
I think it's bull excrement. There should be one age of majority. Buy a house, vote, sign up for the military, drink alcohol, smoke, buy a firearm, one age. If 18 is old enough to be drafted in wartime, then 18 is old enough to be a complete adult with all rights and all responsibilities.
