Let's just say law to buy rifle goes to 21

[Jem45472]

This is unlikely to happen, but if it did there's nothing to prevent "straw purchases or gifting is there? The government can't make it illegal for those under 21 to possess rifles right? That would make a huge part of the military criminals, or for that matter the hundreds of thousands that already own them.

 

[Cavalry]

The military is already exempted from gun laws this would be no different.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Cancel hunting for anyone under 21. Ya know that Second Amendment hunting protection thingy? Maybe the Boy Scouts will have to give up their rifle merit badge too.

Use to be a father decided when his son was old enough to have a gun. Use to be a father decided a lot of things about how his family would be raised. Now the government does all these thing for him and see how much more pleasant our society has become.

I wonder how much flights to North Korea are going for

 

[Darth]

Why can't they prevent possession under 21?

They do with alcohol.

It's a horrible idea all around.

24 for pistols right? They might as well raise the age

Nah man, let's just compromise this once.

I'm sure they'll stop after this one.

 

[Grimscale]

This is just to buy. i believe current law states a child has to be 12 or over to handle a gun? (correct me if I'm wrong here).

So, 12-18 is business as usual.
18-21 is fucked.

Yet one more step to the complete loss of our Rights. One more step to complete anarchy.

How do they intend to fund incarcerating all of the fathers who will not give up their guns? How will they fund all the kids that will end up on welfare or in the foster care system when their parents are arrested?

Hehehe sure

Why not raise the age to drink to 25 since people drink under age and I’m sure the 21 years get more dwi’s that 25 year olds.

Let’s not forget the average age of a mass shooter is 37!!!

 

[GOYABEAN]

next will be 21 to consent for coupling unless you enjoy the four legged type then your good to go

 

[dsdmmat]

Let’s raise the driving age to 35. Lower all the other age restrictions to 16. That way everyone will have a lot of experience before they get behind the wheel of a 4000 pound weapon.

 

[ProgSpear]

It would be more helpful to public safety to raise the voting age (back) to 21.

 

[stuck in ny]

Raise the SS age to 99 if the old folks think they can screw over the young folks willy nilly.

 

[Phazer]

Depends on the state. Most states do not have such rules. As long as a minor is receiving instruction, the age is not an issue.

Also, private ranges can set their own rules.

 

[GOPerfect]

Much of this needs to be in control of the parents!

I bought my son his first gun at 7 (I think, maybe 8). Lever action 22lr.

Couple years later, his first Pistol. Ruger SR22. He carries it all the time at our property.

His first AR at 12. Loves shooting it.

My kids are good kids, they were raised correctly and I have no issues with them being gun owners.

There are kids out there that shouldn't be able to cut their own steak with a knife. Not all kids are the same. Parents need to take responsibility.

Sandy hook shooter, his mother knew he was fucked in the head but she still allowed him to have and control guns. Not the Governments job to raise my kids.

you guys got it all wrong.

right to vote

9th grade after you have taken your mandatory class on why socialism is best. although you can be restricted if you fail this class, or if your parents are registered to either the republican or conservative party in which case your right will not be restored until you pass the class or change your parents political affiliation.

right to own a gun
50, but only after you have taken 10 years of mandatory firearms training (that you must pay for), possess mandatory gun owners insurance that costs about $15,000 per year, pay for the permit (that can be restricted when you get a parking ticket) and when you retire at 65 you lose the right because your a senior and you might be unfit, especially if someone else handles your finances.

lowered to 16
age to smoke lowered to 12
legal age of consent for hetero sex, 35
legal age of consent for gay sex, 16
legal age to have children 40 if youre a conservative, and max of 1 child allowed
legal age to have children 16 if your a liberal and no limit on number of kids

Raise the minimum IQ needed to procreate to 21 first.

Straw Purchases are always illegal.

And no FFL is going to do a transfer to an underage person.

I "think" you could accompany your son to the Range, and let him shoot your gun. But that's about it.

 

[Catskillkid]

Say it passes it's pretty much unenforceable. 18, 19 or 20 year old living with mom and dad (not uncommon at all) who's gun is it? Oh it's dad's or it's mom's gun. How are they going to know for sure?

The underage people would be considered "prohibited persons" for the sake of firearms ownership. Firearms would be required to be secured against access by them.

Not knowing the full extent of the bill I can only speculate, but wouldn't that require random inspections of people's homes to check on that? Are they seriously going to do that for every household that has a person 18-21 living in it?

 

[Bob]

Why not raise the age to drink to 25 since people drink under age and I’m sure the 21 years get more dwi’s that 25 year olds.

Let's raise the minimum age for everything to 26. If you're not old enough to go out on your own and get your own health insurance, you shouldn't be drinking, smoking, driving a car, or handling a firearm. After all, those are all dangerous activities, and you'll need health insurance if you hurt yourself.

Nah. That would be impractical. But, it would certainly open the door to national home inspections, like we have in Westchester, to be sure that people have safe storage for their firearms.

HOWEVER...we only have that for pistols since only handguns are registered. Will Trump cave into the Liberal demands for a national long gun registry?

That's what I'm getting at with this post. Shit, I think I had my 22 at 12, and shotgun not much after. I'm getting old and don't remember, but I know I was bow hunting at 14 and I think shotgun hunting at 16.
