Probably nothing. There was lots of talk from many. Lots of from my cold, dead hands BS that'll never happen.

But apparently democrats want the voting age to go down to 16...............

It used to be 21, became 18 in 1971. In my opinion, this only favored the Democrats.

absolutely, because young kids are typically more liberal and idealistic (live in fantasy land, not the real world that pays taxes).

And since kids aren't expected to grow up anymore....
There is a definite difference in maturity between your average 18 year old and your average 21 year old and...
The Federal government was set up as a bicameral system with the House of Representatives being the young and bold with fresh new ideas, the Senate being the Old Guard who passed along any fresh young ideas that truly had merit...

Well, you can be 17 and in the active military but denied an alcoholic beverage. You can die for your Country at 17,18,19,20, and still be denied. Worse than being restricted on a certain purchase of a firearm. I'm not in favor of either. I bought My son a 12 gauge pump for his 12th birthday and he kept it,with shells, in his room.
BTW, Congress has to pass these laws. The ATF is involved as well. This is not just a stroke of the pen kind of thing.
Does anyone really think Congress is going to do something?

I think the political reality is, if the Republicans want to maintain the majority in the House and Senate, some type of legislation will get passed. I do not see the 21 year old age requirement for purchase of an AR platform rifle with military style features as the end of the world, any more than it is for handguns. In fact, it is the smallest step I can perceive. You would still be able to lawfully purchase, own, possess and use for lawful purposes. Anyone who thinks life would have been better with Hillary as Pres better snap outta their coma.

How messed up would that be if it goes into effect! You can serve your country by killing the enemy with a GUN. However you could not buy one at home. God Bless America!
21 for Alcohol ? Yes
21 for Firearms ? Yes (reluctantly)
21 for Voting ? HELL YES !!
Raising the VOTING AGE to 21 would be a Game-Changer.

I was just about to say: make it all consistent and raise it all to 21...especially voting. Idiots voting does far more damage to our nation than anything else.
Um, nothing in the Bill of Rights is age determined! Nor should it be!
YES
I was not clear in my proposal.
IT'S PACKAGE DEAL - NOT A LA CARTE.

I am no scholar, but I expect the Founding Fathers set Age Limits somewhere.
After all, are there minimum ages for Congress, the Senate, and the Presidency ?
On the other hand, society expected that Parents were able to control their Children in the past.
Davy Crockett could be trusted with a Rifle at eight. Barry Soetoro, not so much.
Maybe we should stop seniors from doing all this as well at a certain age. Maybe once they reach 65 or 70. They are out of touch at that age, their driving skills suck, most couldn't shoot straight. I can't imagine too many of these elders being able to handle their liquor. Yeah, let's have a minimum and a maximum age on all of these things.
Sounds pretty offensive when looked at from both ways.
Hell, the seniors in this country bother me more than the youngers do.

Yup. I couldn’t vote to end the war I was drafted to fight.
See if that sticks forty years from now.

Personally, I think he knows it is wrong, sorta doesn't give a crap, bargains away 2A rights easily, and is counting on Paul Ryan and House Republicans to stop it. Could be a dangerous good cop, bad cop game he plays.
