No need to let them take the first step.
Racist of course.
.....so that means 18 year old members of the military can’t carry a gun?
While we’re at it, let’s raise the age for obtaining an abortion to 75.
I’m sure this 19y/o shooter would have waited til he was 21.
Damn that Trump...there is blood on his hands...Oh' Wait
It’s already absurd the drinking age is 21 in this country, now they’re trying to make smoking and gun ownership 21 too. They need to let people grow up.
And while we're at it, repeal the National Firearms Act, the Gun Control Act, and the Hughes Amendment.
How 'bout that, FineSwine?
The demodummies will keep chiseling away, one chip at a time until they eliminate the ability for ANYONE to purchase firearms regardless of age. They can’t eliminate the 2nd Amendment but they can ffer up new laws to control the ability to use a weapon, like restricting the sale of ammunition or setting age limits on gun purchases. Perhaps libs had better look VERY CAREFULLY at the age of 18 years old to join our military thereby offering up their young lives to protect those who put heavy restrictions on their “freedoms”.
Unless they are out on duty, then yes.
I think the drinking age should be lowered to 18...at least for beer and wine.
Make if the same as the minimum age for enlisting in the military.
That’s not the answer, Senator. How can we expect our kids to respect the lives of others, when we slaughter their contemporaries with impunity? TEACH RESPECT.
The natural amendment for this proposed legislation is the maximum age for senators.
DiFi is well beyond the limit.
You can learn to shoot and kill at 18 in the military, but you can’t buy a gun. Is not strong the logic in that one.
States need to provide armed guards for our schools.
“On it’s face I agree with her, but since the libtards always think incrementally...”
Exactly. It’s one of their most potent strategies. Look at the the gay stuff. Now we are within a blink of young girls having to share locker rooms and showers with some creep who claims he’s a she that day. But yeah lets do this if we can raise the voting age at the same time. The nation is harmed much more by 18 year olds voting then some nut with a gun.
Stuff and nonsense. The human mind is always growing and maturing. Infantilizing people does no good. Some people are never mature enough to vote; some people could vote responsibly at 15 or 16. People grow in responsibility by exercising responsibility. The "drinking age" and the "buy a handgun age" are both too old.
Kids can still be prescribed mind altering drugs though, right??
When I was growing up there was no gun age limit and in rural areas most boys got their first gun around 11-12, when Dad decided you were ready. Ill spare you the long version as I only wish to make two points. First, nobody shot anybody, except the occasional B.B. gun, and second, DAD.
Dads made the decision, AND Dad did the training. Our lack of the Dad factor in todays society is a major factor. I dont have the answer to the problem, just saying theres that, and its a problem.
