Trump Pushing for 21 Age Limit

I don’t think they should be changing any of the ages mentioned in this post. But if Dems don’t think that 18 year olds should own firearms because they aren’t mature enough, then I’ll recognize the danger that misguided votes and youthful idiots can cause to our country.

If they raised it to 72 I wouldn't have so much stuff plus at 72 I wouldn't be able to afford it any way !!! [Sarcasm2]

Instead of nickel and diming away the rights of 18-year olds, why not just change the age of majority to 21? Would 26 be better?

3 more years of school mandatory!!! wait, isn't that free college?

Did I just stumble upon the endgame here?

If kids having access to guns is the problem, then I submit eliminating that access. All schools are now boarding schools. Kids get dropped off there at the beginning of the year, and picked up at the end of the year. Closed campus except for field trips. ALL personal are wanded and have bags checked upon entering, and leaving the school, just like a cruise ship. Problem solved. Plus, parents don't have to worry about the messy, difficult disciplining of their children, or feeding them, or clothing them. They can go to work and focus on their careers just like they wanted in the first place. Don't have to pay an expensive child care provider anymore, all that money now goes to the institution of your choice. Don't have kids, don't pay toward institution. Kids can't bring guns from home to shoot up the school if they aren't allowed home.

Tell us about the uniforms, Uncle Irving!

Isn't this the beginning of Battle Royale, and/or, some sort of weird, John Podesta fantasy? Does the school serve pizza?

I'm thinking something like this.

As most gun grabs are bad ideas. The opposite usually would work. Why not let kids be taught about guns at age 10 so they have education and knowledge about how dangerous they are before they hit puberty and get crazy with hormones.

While that's not a bad idea, knowing how dangerous guns are doesn't stop anyone from being killed by guns. Not in the case of intentional shooting sprees anyway.
