It amazes me when I hear a hunter who is blissfully sighting in his .300 Win Mag state with no hint of irony that he sees no reason why anyone needs an "assault weapon".I agree with him.
However I would not prohibit the purchase or possession of AR-15's or Ak-47's, but I would up the age to 25 years old. You see, I've been hunting since I was a very little kid, I served 6 years in the Army and have shot everything from M-14's, M-16's, to real BAR's. (they are all inferior to a quality hunting rifle). In that time I have noticed the maturity of gun owners can be predicted by their choice of firearm.
Sorry, but WE are responsible for alot, not all, but a lot, of our own problems.

The right to own guns is not restricted due to "maturity." The right to own an AR-15 is inalienable, and does NOT depend on some psychobabbler's opinion of "maturity."
It's not likely you could define "maturity" all that well, anyway. But if you really think you can, you can run for office as a Democrat. They have a lot of people who think for others...such as you.

Maturity is not an age or an emotion, it's a state of mind. Your state of mind is questionable. You would dare to limit my kids availability of
the best tool for the job, based on their
age?
Shameful elitist.
