So, lets put on hold talking about how much of an idiot this man is, because there is a group of people that are even bigger idiots. Those that elected him.

1. the minimum age to go into law enforcement will have to be raised, as well. And with departments having a hard enough time getting recruits, this will make it even harder.

2. Florida is home to numerous military units that are made up of young men that will be affected by such an incredibly ridiculous law. They'll be responsible enough to fight your war, but not own a pistol unit they reach their 25th birthday.

3. I can't speak for Florida, but in Georgia, to get a hunting license you have to take a Hunter's Safety course unless you were born in the early 60s. If the laws are the same or similar in Florida, then this law doesn't do anything.

4. Hard to believe this man is in a position to come up with laws that will effect the citizens of Florida and he's just proven that he's an absolute moron.

I guess we’ll have to close all the military bases in Florida and take the guns from rookie cops. Sorry soldier, you’re old enough to die for your country, but too young to handle a weapon.

[ClearCase_guy]

“shall not be infringed” is so hard to understand.

[BuffaloJack]

Stupid is as stupid does.
And if you get denied the right, then you’ll just do what the Garland-Midland shooter did. He went into his dad’s shop and machined one from scratch.

[SkyDancer]

So nobody over the age of 25 has been involved in any mass shooting?

[Not A Snowbird]

This doesn’t sound like it would affect military or law enforcement since they don’t “own” or “purchase” the guns they carry.

Unless I’m missing something?

Republican State Senator Looks To Bar People Under 25 From Buying A Gun

If people under 25 can't buy guns and/or use them, then, we should not be accepting anyone into the military that is under 25, because, they will get weapons for training and will learn how to use them.

But, I can do one better on the congressman...

If people under 25 are too young to learn to be responsible, then, let's up the minimum voting age to 25. After all, voting is a much bigger responsibility, with much bigger consequences for cities and states and the country. Irresponsible and ignorant and naive people, could be voting the country into a disastrous and destructive future. That's a lot more dangerous than weapons of any kind.

BTW, how much gun crime is committed by those under 25 vs those over 25? Or was the congressman simply picking an arbitrary age?

Republican in name only State Senator Looks To Bar People Under 25 From Buying A Gun

So Florida man has gone into politics?

[stars & stripes forever]

Got elected for supporting 2nd Amendment. WHO GOT TO HIM?

David Simmons' Political Summary

[BenLurkin]

Better idea:

Raise the voting age to 25.

[Rinnwald]

trying to raise the age of adulthood to 25 is a bad idea in general.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Raise the age of voting to 25 and maybe we’ll consider this.

[Seruzawa]

Nazi. Not a hyperbole.

F*** Godwin.

Even young adults should not be disarmed and defenseless without a reason. Bust the young drug addicts. When they are caught with weapons, bust them again. Stop hiding records of juvenile drug addicts.

[Zhang Fei]

In addition to his gun-grabbing tendencies, he’s an illegal alien panderer. It’s time he was primaried. Or recalled, if possible.

[During the 2014 legislative session, Simmons sponsored legislation that would have allowed “an applicant who is an unauthorized immigrant who was brought to this state as a minor and who has been a resident of this state for more than 10 years and has fulfilled all requirements for admission to practice law in this state” to be admitted to the Florida Bar, Simmons spoke strongly in favor, arguing, “We’re going to right an injustice.”[8]]

[familyop]

So far, with similar laws, law enforcement officers have been exempt.

[familyop]

Make that some similar laws. Others, like the Lautenberg Amendment, cause police and soldiers with restraining orders to be discharged.

Ok, I'll play along. Most mass shooters are young 20 something males. I don't recall any female mass shooters so why punish under 25 females?

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/apr/04/youtube-shooting-gun-attacks-in-the-us-are-rarely-carried-out-by-women An FBI study of 160 “active shooter” incidents between 2000 and 2013 found that only 6 incidents, or 3.8%, were perpetrated by a female shooter. All six of these female shooters used handguns

[FroggyTheGremlim]

I got it! All we have to do is pass a law that makes it illegal to shoot a person with a gun.

That was easy, wasn't it?
