My view if your old enough to be in the Military carrying a gun into combat and risking being killed then if we change the age of gun ownership to 21 years old we should not be taking men into the military at 18,19,and 20 years old. The Voting age likewise needs to be 21 too.
Keeping guns out of hunters hands because of a mental case shooter is just wrong.
AR is the most popular hunting rifle, but its just that not, a military sub-machine gun.
Well - if it ends up at 21 - Military should be allowed at age of enlistment, or thereabouts.
You learn to be responsible with a gun in the military. That’s what’s missing with some 18 year old civilians, people like Cruz.
Our kids had Hunter Safety when they were in grade school. Did Cruz? I’d bet not, and I would further bet he had no gun training at all. I’d bet that most young people who use guns in a criminal way have had no training. This is why I can support moving gun ownership to 21 and leave military at 18. The military experience will provide training many 18 year olds might not otherwise get.
