For 3 years a human being will be away from their parents, but completely vulnerable to attack.

And it doesn’t have to be that way, the state has made it that way.

The state wishes to cause grievous harm to young adults. That’s not putting words in their mouths - that’s what they wanted, that’s what they intended that’s what they said and that’s what they said.

Amen, brother!

On my sixteenth birthday, my Father gave me a Remington 16 gauge semi-automatic shotgun. I still have it today. He used it in 1957 to take an eleven hundred pound moose in Ontario with a slug.

Sad to say, but I see tradition fading
away.

You’re right. My youngest brother is still called their baby at times by our parents.

"Confused I be. Article after article states “raising age to purchase guns to 21”, yet people are talking about age of possession being 21. What is it?"

That is precisely the point.

Standard gun-banner "bait and switch". The recent "universal background check" referendum that passed last year in Washington was constantly reported as requiring such checks on "gun sales", but the actual law applied to "gun transfers".

The media brainwashing was so complete that even some current legislators don't know what the law says (since they weren't involved in passing legislation that implemented the law).

That’s why you buy your gun in a gun trust. Everyone named in the trust can have possession of it. Works for Title 1 AND Title 2 firearms.
