How old was the recent Texas mass shooter? Proves that this bill is crap. Incremental elimination of the 2nd amendment.

Waste of time. This will be struck down. Do something about the border, you worthless cowards.

This has a LONG way to go before it is an actual law. With that said it is a fact that the current Texas legislative session is full of crap that has bled over from other states like California and Virginia. Texas is becoming more and more woke because the morons coming in from leftist states.

Would that exempt high school graduates from being in the service?

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).

Attacking the problem, missing the target. Psychotropic drugs anyone?

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

I joined the military at 17. Not old enough to drink, smoke, or vote

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.

Headline: "Big bad Texas Conservatives CAVE to anti-American leftist liberals in an ignorant display of virtue signalling"

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

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.
