Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut confirmed to CNN on Thursday morning that raising the federal age to purchase AR-15 style semiautomatic rifles to 21 is off the table in Senate gun-control talks.
Murphy, the Democrat leading the negotiations in conjunction with Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, framed the shift as one of the compromises that will be needed to get at least 10 Republican votes, given the obstacle of the filibuster.
The compromise, Murphy explained, would be adding "additional scrutiny" to 18 to 21-year-olds looking to buy a weapon such like the AR-15, though he stopped short at specifying that some sort of waiting period would replace raising the age.

They are ALWAYS misused and never stop crime.
I would go along with it, BUT ONLY if coupled with raising the voting age to 21!
do both, and I will support.
Little by little everything will be off the table because the Democrat/communists have come to realize that we aren’t falling for their Do Somethingism this time so the best they will be able to do is blame it of the Turtle and his rino caucus.
Gun control talks? SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is the only talk worth having.
I tend to agree. This is an opportunity to get something good out of the Dems... If you want to raise the age to buy an AR to 21 then you have to give us voter ID, or repeal of 1965 immigration act. But the Repubs will just cave.
No buts.
All prospective firearm legislation should be placed on hold until laws currently on the books are enforced, starting with the arrest of Hunter Biden.
This should be the position of every Republican lawmaker.
“Can’t buy a semi-automatic handgun at 18,..”
The 9th Circuit just tossed that law.
L
Parent or guardian must cosign the Form 4473...UNLESS the juvenile is formally legally emancipated.
I see this as an opportunity to get something important, mining the voting age raised to 21 which should be cut off for adulthood and not 18 IMO.
The 9th Circuit already deemed under 21 sales bans to be unconstitutional.
Red flag laws are coming. Folks stop talking about your guns now.
Remember 1994.
Every senator that votes for red flags must go.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.No; the Repubs will just collaborate.
— Communist goal #15
That was fast.
I guess they didn’t like the proposed ‘trade off’ ... raising age to join military, to 21.
This would disqualify most of the PRIMARILY military age, MALES, they are importing/allowing to invade our southern border.
Wake up, folks.
Not getting my hopes up, but this is what I was proposing.
The moment you turn 18, unless you have an ADULT CRIMINAL RECORD, your recent behavior is completely hidden. You are a blank slate. Your NICS check is utterly meaningless.
This is said in the context of accepting the NICS framework.

Don’t you think it’s common for emancipated minors to be some of the most troubled and most wild?
Has anyone proposed a three year waiting period for 18 year-olds trying to buy a semi-auto rifle?
