That's the point of the 2nd Amendment.
For military, voting, drinking, driving and parental independence, too, then. F’idiot!
Not that long ago, 16 year-olds snuck into our military to go and fight for America.
but lets forbid them from drinking,smoking, and caring a gun.because they just are not old enough for that stuff...
Look, I am against criminals and the mentally ill from having guns...
go into the inner city and take all the guns away and we would cut our country's murder rate by probably 80%....
but that would be "rasist"......
OK....so now nobody should be able to VOTE under 21!!!! ROLL THEM BACK!!
There isn’t a single liberal cause Republicans won’t glom onto.
So a crazy 19 yr old will be fine when he is 21?
Good to know.
No one under 75 should be permitted to have an abortion, then.
If you are old enough o die for your country with an M16 in your hands. You are old enough to own an AR15
On the other hand, I have no problem requiring anyone wishing to purchase a fire arm to attend a basic gun safety course and fire arm training course before they are allowed to posses a gun.
Even that requirement is not supported by fact because fire arm accidents are very rare, even with the almost universal lack of training for firearms owners these days.
Any kind of unlawful use of rifles is so rare that more people are killed by lightning strikes than rifles of all types, much less AR15s
I AGREE.
And while you're at it, raise the voting age back up to 21.
Kids take longer to GROW UP these days, and MOST NEVER DO. I blame FEMINISM, lack of father figures and other BAD INFLUENCES such as social media.
IT IS WHAT IT IS, FOLKS.
We take 18-year olds into the military and send them off to defend this country with weapons that fire full-auto.
The sad fact of the matter is, some human beings are just defective. Has always been thus, and will always be so.
Heh, heh...Kansas. Ha, ha. Get yourself a rocking chair, Paddy. It’s time to take life easier and spend more time in your State’s ethnic supper clubs, where there are drunken children.
So comfortable socialists like Paddy want to disarm all people under that age of 21, including many young adults who have children. Then, they needn’t register for the draft or be eligible for military service, until they’re 21.
Start snagging those elite favorite sons of affluenza, before they pull off more mass murders. Build reform schools for them. It’s a local problem with local remedies.
With all due respect senator, f**k you.
Gonna need a constitutional amendment to implement that one, Senator.
Total waste of time. Would this have stopped John Malvo? If laws work, why do we have crime?
Nobody over 45 should be in the Congress!
OK Pat, as long as no one over 80 gets to remain in the Senate.
“Certainly nobody under 21 should have an AR-15”
That’s a specific brand. What about all the others patterned after that brand?
What about AK-47s and rifles patterned after them?
Mini-14’s, etc.?
M1 Carbines, etc.?
and of course raise the voting age to 21.
And if you’re not trustworthy enough to be allowed to buy a firearm to protect your family, raise the marriage age to 21.
Nobody under 21 should be allowed to vote.
