There appear to be some kabuki theater fans in the Texas legislature.

this passed out of committee. will it pass the full legislature?
i hope not.

As a Texas resident, this outrages me.
The Second Amendment protects a basic right. If a “right” is exercisable at the age of majority, then the age to purchase any firearm must remain at age 18...unless the age of majority is restored to age 21.
Frankly, with all of the idiocy nowadays and the fact that the brain doesn’t finish developing until about age 25, I’d favor raising the age of majority to 25 - especially including voting.
FYI, I’m over 60 and I have one kid left who isn’t yet 21 (but will be in a bit over 2 years).

I continue to vote despite my ever-growing voter disenfranchisement.

Why? They can choose a different gender at 2… they should be able to smoke and drink at that age also.
Weapons… for concealed, should be the same age as signing up for military.

Everything is indeed bigger in Texas, including the GOP traitors.

30 works for me. Long before age 30, I was a productive, tax-paying Citizen.
Try again.

What does “certain semi automatic rifles” mean? Just curious.
To: Ennis85
The age to enlist in the military needs to be raised to 21. Also the age for a driver’s license needs to be 21.

Why can a 14 year old get his wiener cut off but can’t drink, smoke, or buy a gun? Anyone? Buehler?
