Sounds to me, like they are talking out of both sides of their mouth. They say they want to keep guns out of juveniles hands. I think that is the parents job. I agree alot of parents don't do their job, but they already have a law , I think, where you have to be 18 to buy a gun.

They are just trying to appease both sides, but their actions only appease the gun control side. What have they done to guarantee the right of all law abiding citizens to carry and own guns?

Nothing! Like I say their actions speak louder than their words ever will.

Thanks for going to the trouble to write them.

Thank you for your response. I regard AARP's essentially anti-gun / anti-self defense stance as sufficient reason for my rejection of your offer for membership. Why in the name of John Moses Browning would I want to support an organization that wishes to restrict my rights and worse - makes common cause with those who wish to make ownership of firearms of any sort illegal?
