The way I see it, you should be an adult or not. Not you have this right at 18, this at 21, etc. I got lucky enough and was stationed overseas at 19 and could drink legally. If they want you to be 21 to buy a rifle, have the balls to say a 20 yr old is a juvenile and not an adult.

NO compromise. Every time you give the left a cookie they are encouraged to take the entire bakery

The 18-20 yr olds I dealt with could be immature, but then so are many 30 or 40 yr olds. But if the law gets changed for that, then so should military service.... |

The age limit to buy a handgun is 21. That's prevented loads of shooting and murder in Chicago.

You know damned well that the democrats would only want the rifle age changed to 21 instead of the legal age for everything changed to 21 because it would eliminate to much of their voting pool.

Having been burnt on the 21 thing, I'll not touch that.
A honest question though......... Where in the constitution, or the Bill of Rights does it say anything about 21 or even 18? _________________ US2A.org is done. Closed.

I know we could require an IQ test, that would stop atleast one mass shooter, that is if he wasn't willing to commit murder in order to get guns to you know commit more murder.

I've read the 2nd A a couple of times, and never saw an age requirement. There is a difference between age, and maturity. I had my own scuba diving business at 13. I've seen people 21, and over that should not have anything sharper than a spoon. So where do we draw the line?

Tobacco, driving, porn, lets just make it so people are not considered adults now, until the age of 21. Talk about a slippery slope! I'm pretty sure these students aren't the only age group we've seen act this way. College students are acting this way, and a lot of other groups of all ages. We've seen it with BLM, we've seen it with the Womens March, we've seen it just about every current political activist group. It's not an age related issue, it's a society related issue. Just my opinion  Also, when we do that, let's go ahead and admit that we have failed our society because of poor education.

That's always been the most perplexing thing to me. The pro-rights side gets absolutely diddly-poop, and they call it a "compromise." The only explanation I can come up with is that our representatives on the right are teacher's pet-types who just want pats on the head and to be told they're good. They don't even stop and think that the people who give them (temporary) pats on the head want them to be completely marginalized. |
