House Dems propose to raise age for "AW" purchase

Not surprised, just disappointed...

The part I like best is, "Democrats spearheading the legislation say they would prefer an all-out ban on assault weapons, they added that this piecemeal approach is more likely to gain bipartisan support."

If it passes, then 21 should be the new 18. Military service and voting age should be raised also. The military being 18 is why voting and rifle purchase are 18 now.

Shit voting should be raised to 35. Get some life experience so you actually understand what the fuck you are actually voting for.

It'd be great if they raised the age of adulthood to 25. That's when the frontal cortex of the human brain becomes fully developed and when a persons personality and attitude settles for the rest of their life.
If you join the military you get the benefits of adulthood sooner.

While it's DOA and will never see the senate floor, I really hope they pass it in the House as well as much more staunch gun control bills. Let these dems from red districts put their actual votes to these bills, rather than simply lying to the voters and turning their backs on them once in office.

As for bipartisanship, I've never given a dime to any candidate but I will actively support the opposition to any RINO that votes for this.

<<< Is under 35, definitely supports this.

“The NRA has strongly opposed past proposals to raise the minimum age for purchasing a weapon, arguing that it does nothing to prevent illegal gun sales and only hinders legitimate buyers.” Wish they were ‘strongly opposed’ to all legislative restrictions on firearms but we all know how that goes lately...

They should have to repeal the 26th

If you can suck on mommy and daddy's tit until 26, forcing others to pay for your healthcare and whatever else, then you are not adult enough to vote.

I could not agree more.

This says it all right here. It shows their intent like a neon sign.

All you people worried about voting would be better off ending women's suffrage and requiring property ownership.

Letting people vote who make decisions based on emotion has destroyed this country and freedom and gun rights.
