With the push by gun control advocates to ban those under age 21 from owning guns because of the shooting in Parkland, Florida, we decided to examine more closely the ages of mass public shooters over the last twenty years. The current discussion is obviously motivated because the Parkland killer was 19 years old when he committed his crimes and that motivated Florida to just increase the age that people could obtain any type of gun to 21-years-old.

“Shut up!!!”, he argued.
IIRC, the person who sold the Tech 9 handgun to Klebold and Harris was the son of a local gun control advocate in Littleton.
How many of those under 21 are still living at home where the parents have guns?
How many of those under 21 mass murderers had no father in the home when they were growing up?

Wasn’t it just the month before last that Congress was considering a law to keep teens from eating Tide Pods? From detergent eaters to gun control experts in such a short time — Amazing.
With the left again taking aim at the Second Amendment, the two short videos at the links will make crystal clear WHY the Founders inserted it so prominently in the Bill of Rights.
The video - probably a 4th generation burn of a DVD - though sketchy, is viewable. But IT’S THE AUDIO THAT’S IMPORTANT and makes this one another candidate for a background listen while doing computer housekeeping.
It’s also a fun one to send to any leftist anti-gunners in your orbit. While it almost certainly won’t cause them to change course, it contains HISTORICALLY VERIFIABLE FACTS that will make them go berserk and possibly even burst into flames. Facts nearly always have that effect on them. So fire up a leftist/statist (but I repeat myself) and share it!
If the fact filled first video fails to move them, the second, by Dr. Hupp, MAY move even the most critical thought challenged leftist at that all important EMOTIONAL & “FEELINGS” level for which they are so well known.

How many violent crime victims are under 21?
A lot of single women under 21 rely on a gun for self-defense.
