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

    Gun Free Zones obviously don't work to prevent school shootings.

    So why isn't anyone calling for their ban?

    How about stop raising weak incapable children

    Gun safety training officially started this week with my 4yo

    Imagine living through the last 3 years and thinking we need less self defense

    Winner.


    Will they commensurately raise the age for enlisting in armed services? So many rabbit holes there ...

    Have an exception for military personnel. 21 if you’re a civilian, 18 if you’re in the military. If you happen to become a veteran, and are still under 21, you have to have an Honorable discharge. No loopholes for a POS who gets drummed out.

    Apply this to the drinking age and voter age as well. I’d even concede this to the members of the Peace Corps since that too is federal service.
    See common ground. Hell maybe I am a moderate.
    Everyone says how moderate you are

    Damned near a centrist.

    When does the downvoting start?

    I think it was the 9th Circus court that just shot down 21 YO to buy. The most liberal circuit court in the nation. If you can go to war with a machine gun at 18 you should be able to buy a gun.

    I'm wearing my down-vote as a badge of honor.

    Hope this helps.

    Dems need more than passing a bill raising the gun age to prevent the cataclysmic beatdown they will get in November. What I could see them do (like someone else said): Propose the increase in age, along with a bunch of other bullshit nobody wants, and dare republicans to oppose it. Republicans would vote it down, if Dems put enough stupid shit in the bill. Then Dems campaign for 2-3 months with the Republican no vote being the center of their campaigns. You watch. Welcome to American politics.

    Give that man a cigar. They are trying to do that now with a Red Flag provision. Why wouldn't you be willing to surrender you due process rights unless you have something to hide?
