Such ********. I'm in my mid 20s so it doesn't effect me. But I got my first rifle at 18.

There seems to be this double standard in this country. Either you're an adult responsible for your own actions or you're a minor. You can't be both at the same time. Old enough to get married and have kids, not old enough to drink a beer after a long day at work.


Old enough to die for your country, potentially against your will, but not old enough to own a gun.

The way I see it, choose an age. 18, 20, 21 whatever. But you're either an adult or You're not. This half adulthood stuff is just ********. At least 18 year olds can vote now.

If You're not old enough to drink a beer in the governments eyes, you sure as hell shouldn't be in Afghanistan losing limbs.

That age limit law wouldn't have stopped Adam Lanza. Damn sure wouldn't have stopped Stephen Paddock.

this isn't about stopping mass shootings, it's about leveraging tragedy to take away our rights. the ability to defend ourselves pisses off liberals, because they believe in the almighty power of the government over the people. we're a threat to that monopoly of power.

I think all rights should be raised to 21 including voting and joining the military or all rights should be lowered to 18. No in-between B.S.

I can understand why, todays kids are babied and grow up much later than we did. I kinda agree about the double standard but the military makes one grow up pretty quick.

So, I'm guessing if you're a 19 year old, join the Army, they are not gonna give ya a rifle for at least two more years????

21 for everything, draft, driving, voting(51 if democrat), drinking(71 if a Kennedy), college, etc. Yeah that will fix everything!

But seriously, like Frederick said, if you're old enough to die for your country, then you are old enough to do all of this. IMHO the .gov has lost its fear of the people, and that is not a good thing.

Yeah, lets put age restrictions on all of our rights.

So let me ask you this, if it was 21 for everyone unless you joined the military. Therefore, you would earn your Right.

I think age of majority is fair for most of our rights. Any restriction beyond the age of majority is unconstitutional imo
