Republican Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson expressed his willingness for a “conversation” on raising the minimum age to purchase a semiautomatic rifle from 18 to 21 and “AR-15-style weapons” amid fresh talks on gun reform following a deadly mass shooting in Texas last week.
Hutchinson told CNN’s John Berman on Tuesday that he supported an ongoing bipartisan dialogue between a group of U.S. senators to potentially draft new gun control legislation. Hutchinson said one area the bipartisan congressional group should look at is “the AR-15-style weapons,” and whether the minimum age to purchase one should be raised.

Voting age of 21? More like 45. And bring your tax returns.
“Voting age of 21? More like 45. And bring your tax returns.”
Now you’re talking! :)
I will support this IF it is paired with raising voting age to 21 and draft age to 21!
And your property tax receipt.
All politicians are ignorant of current news and law. The 9th Circuit recently declared the California ban on selling “assault weapons” to citizens under 21 Unconstitutional.
“Raise the voting age to 21.”
26 would be even better.
People need to be the real world for a few years before they are allowed to make decisions of such magnitude.
I get where you are going, but will say no to just IQ scores. Sociopaths often have high IQs and I dont want them to be considered favored in their decision making.
So let’s just kill all the shrinks first!
Not going there...
Set the age using this criteria. If you are old enough to know your gender doesn’t match your chromosomes, you’re old enough to smoke.
When can we start mandating blood testing politicians?
The left would dominate the convention agenda like they do everything.
The first and 2nd amendments, not the 17th, would be their goal.
Be careful what you wish for.
Raising the voting age to 21 and purchase of assault type rifles to 21 seem s like a good idea to me.
Hormones and moodiness are still common in many people under 21 years. There is a reason why we hear of so many in high school who are happy to leave HS - too much peer pressure to be popular, etc.
There is a whole lot of growing up that takes place between 18 and 21 years of age.
Makes sense to me. As for voting age, kids in 1900 were a lot more mature than kids in 2022.
Maybe we should start with hardening the schools and see how that works before we do anything else. Locking the doors would be a good common sense start.
What is an assault-type rifle ?
