Are we going to raise the minimum age to vote back up to 21 as well?
Yup. Raise the age to join the military too to 21. Voting age needs to be raised also.
Unless she wants to raise the voting age to 21, this is stupid. If you are old enough vote or join the military, you should be able to buy Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
I thought all legislation is supposed to originate in the house.
So, another area 17-18 year olds can fight and die for their country but are not full citizens. Nothing in 2nd amendment says adult or age limited.
WOW. Just had my eyes checked but I think I need to have it done again. I though the title read “age for Bible purchases.” Maybe I need to go back to bed!
Each time we think they have reached the perogee of stupidity, they prove us wring.
Why does she think this will end...or even affect...violent behavior by teenagers? If they can’t get an AR legally, they’ll get one illegally.
Maybe she’ll think that people under 18 in the armed forces shouldn’t have a gun either until they’re 21.
How about a minimum age for being prescribed certain prescription drugs absent certain clear criteria?
The answer just needs to be NO. No debate , no discussion , no gun control, the end. Stop the debate, shut down any dialog. We had this discussion in 1776 and our side one.
“Under current law, licensed gun dealers cannot sell a handgun to anyone under 21, but they are allowed to sell assault rifles like the AR-15 to anyone over 18.***
A law made in 1968, signed by Lyndon Johnson.
“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”- Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 Gun Control Act into law.
So, under Feinstein’s bill, an 18 year old cannot purchase a rifle, ammo or handgun, but they can still VOTE.
I purchased my first rifle at 18 from an army surplus store. no background check, cash and carry, no problem. Bought my first handgun in California. Cash, three day waiting period, no background check. The years were 1964 and 1967 and sanity still had some rule in America.
Then in 1968, Bobby Kennedy was murdered and a wave of anti-gun hysteria prevailed that has not let up in the last fifty years.
Retire DiFi. That would be “common sense” legislation control.
I would support her, providing the voting age was raised in conjunction. See how far that goes with the Democrats.
Damn, I guess that’s me out. Got my first rifle - a .22/.410 over and under at age 11.
How about a bill authorizing level 3 holsters, free training, and the 9mm of their choice to all school teachers?
Liberalism killed the network that recognizes and intervenes in these troubled youth's lives. There use to be separation of lawbreakers from the law abiding society. Liberalism has ensured that every douchbag, scheming, jerk-wad psychopath continues to mingle in our midst completely unchecked.
We can't even trust the statistics since liberals have not been reporting crimes when they occur in order to protect these lawbreakers from having records. It's liberalism that has blood on its hands, not gun makers and supporters of the second amendment.
Stupid.
I’d be much for in favor of a few changes in congress: term limits, IQ test, American history test, Constitution test, ethics test and a new law that doesn’t exempt confess from laws the rest of us are stuck with.
