Hey....raise it to 30....Why is 21 the magic number?
I have two major issues with this. First, if you can vote and join the military at 18 (or be drafted) you should be able to drink and buy guns. Period. No questions asked. Period.
Secondly, I know plenty of 18-20 year olds (Hello US Marines) who I trust to handle weapons.
And I know of hundreds of thousands of 21 and older people who aren’t emotionally stable and mature enough to own weapons safely.
We call them Liberals.
Check out the 12 mug shots/ages of shooters at post link ....
All but Sandy Hook shooter are 21 or over ..... SH shooter STOLE his gun from his mother, didn’t buy it himself. The “over 21” is a knee jerk/feel good provision in the law that will not stop shooters, yet once again will restrict lawful people from being able to defend themselves. I saw one comment that said it’s like getting a vasectomy so your neighbor will stop having kids.
