Old enough to go to war, certainly old enough to buy a firearm.

They want 16 year olds to vote but they can’t buy guns, smokes or booze. Liberals do too many recreational drugs to run a country properly. America is a mess right now. I personally believe America will never be able to come out of this. It’s done.

There were no prohibitions on the types of firearms either. For instance people could and did own cannons. Contrary to Bidens BS.

Governor Jared S. Polis

And the S stands for "smokespoles". Polismoker.

As said many times here before, there was very little or no violence in public schools when clubs like these were common (Seattle area, 1942).

A Constitutional right which clearly “shall not be infringed”. And they go and pass a law which clearly infringes it. Then they add exemptions, so that some people actually retain the inalienable right, but most people ... not so much.

Gosh. It’s like our Masters think they can just do whatever the heck they want.

Just want to comment that this gun group should be viewed with suspicion and not actively supported.

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners is a dudley brown gun group, along with national association for gun rights, and many entities that are all dudley brown creations.

The organizations tend to be grifters, and have actually tried to impede other gun organization’s efforts to advance the 2A, so they can get credit for trying to do so later.

There are many articles out there about the groups, if you search for them

Too young to have gun.
Too young to go to the bar.

Plenty old enough to serve as cannon fodder in a foreign war to help rich people get richer.

That’s not Freedom. That totalitarianism.

Prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968, people could (and did) buy guns through mail order, with the shipper neither knowing nor caring the age of the buyer as long as the check cleared.

Also prior to that act, you could walk into a store and buy a gun for cash without needing to give ID.

So, the leftists running Colorado believe citizens are mature enough to own a gun until they are 21 but does believe minors are mature to make a decision about having sex change?

“There were no prohibitions on teens acquiring firearms at the time of the ratification of the Second Amendment.”

1. What were the conditions in the country at the time of the second amendment? Same as today? No. Most teen males at the time of the second amendment were already acquiring adult repsonsibilities many young folks do not obtain today till beyond age 21.

2. Nothing in the second amendment bars states from having some regulation of firearms.

3. If we can ban liquor sales to age 21 and over, how is it we cannot ban firearms sales similarly?
