Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Give me the arguments for opposing raising the age to 21 to buy a gun

I'm having a hard time opposing this. I'd also like to see the age to vote raised to 21 as well. Why am I wrong?

    You're not. Today's 18 year old is yesterday's 13 year old

    Pretty much

    Mom should still be able to go hunting with her teen daughter though

    I'm progressive like that

    I'm sure there is an advertisement that depicts that very thing.

    Ditto. I'd make an exception if you are active duty and at least 18. Just getting a start on Starship Troopers.

    The age BS is the shiny object that moves them a step closer to eventual confiscation. It will be applied govt economic hardship until the endgame of ending gun ownership is reached. It’s always incremental with the left.

    I can't go there. I feel like I'm then staking out the very same position as the abortion supporters who won't oppose late term abortion for the same reasons.

    I don’t trust DIMS. Remember when just accepting LGBTQ was enough? They attack the 2A on a regular basis. This isn’t like abortion. Where’s the unified front by GOP members to ban abortion ?

    That's why I would connect it to raising the voting age to 21. Don't get something for nothing.

    I don't really have a problem with that either. I get the argument that they won't stop there, and obviously they won't, but if dems were smart, that would be proposed, stand alone. Any Rep that disagreed would be pounded. But of course, they'll add a bunch of other stuff in and it'll be fucked up like everything they do. And yes, it's stupid to me that you can have spent a year in Afghanistan or some other shit hole and then come home and not be able to buy a weapon, but I also think it's stupid that you also couldn't buy a beer. So let's make 21 the age for all, including voting, abortions, alcohol. I'm cool with that. Because like was said earlier, 18 years old now is like 12 or 13 back in the day.
