False.
I think you should get a gun.
At the same time, I think you should refrain from sharing bad opinions on baseball.

I will say that on average an 18year old is not as mature today as they were 30 years ago. What you're suggesting is pretty much moving the age of adulthood from 18 to 21, correct?

Today 18 yr old Americans get triggered by the wi-fi & murder small children by the dozens.
I know the Youngs on Texags like to tease the Olds & vice-versa, but for fkks sake already.
Nothing, really. It's just a dependable, inexpensive, durable semi auto rifle that can be easily worked on and modified for a variety of sporting or self defense situations. It's the old Ford pickup of the gun world.Burdizzo said:

I'm really tired of the "I own guns, but...." posts I've seen recently. Everything after the conjunction is bull**** when you're simply trying to rationalize violating 2A.WestTexasAg said:
I grew up around guns, and hunted as a kid. Mostly used shotguns. I now have a couple of semi-auto rifles and a couple of handguns as well. That being said, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing 21 being the required age to be able to purchase a semi-auto long gun. You can't buy a beer or cigarettes until you are 21.
This wouldn't solve everything, but it would keep the bullied 18 year old high schooler from making an impulse buy and then creating atrocities like we just saw in Uvalde.
Yes, I realize 18 year olds can fight for this country and carry a semi-auto weapon. However, that is after proper training in the military.
What are your thoughts? Would this be a reasonable change?

You realize "with proper military training" just makes a potential mass shooter far more lethal, right?

Move it all to 21. 18 year olds are idiots. If you want to join the military where you'll get structure, training, psych evals, etc, that's fine.

They also get screened. This kid would have been rejected.

Exempt those who have served in the military but otherwise make the age twenty five to buy semi automatic weapons

I've followed this line of reasoning.If the issue is because they're still teenagers and have the various mental illnesses that can develop during teenage years. The problem is screwed up teenagers likely become screwed up adults and this likely delays the inevitable. Maybe there are a few that grow out of it, but if they want to spread their destruction they will find a way to do it. Either way it points back to a screwed up person behind the trigger.It has and will forever be a culture issue. Culture is not about the group however, it has consequences for the individual within that group and it starts at the family unit. Unfortunately any new laws or regulations will only treat the symptom which means liberals will always chase the next item on the list despite their efforts being futile.Culture is the issue, but it's also the most difficult way to change. Raise your kids with 2 parents, love them, and prepare them for the world that will seek to crush them. This is where it starts.

Evidence shows this kid was not bullied. Was in fact from a broken home and quite disturbed. It also was not an impulse buy. He planned this 4 years ago and the police knew. He worked a job to buy the supplies.
ABATTBQ11 said:TxTarpon said:

What you both fail to realize is that you are approaching this from a tactical standpoint of shooting at a single target. If you're shooting into a crowd, like the Las Vegas shooter, Pulse nightclub shooter, or Bataclan attackers, you don't really need to pray because all you need to do is spray. You're simply looking to fire as many rounds as possible in as short a time as possible because you can't miss. For that purpose, full auto is certainly practical.
I can see the thought processNo Spin Ag said:
As long at an 18 year old can die for their country, they should be afforded the same rights as a 70 year old when it comes to guns.
We've seen plenty of mass murders done by people twice that kids age.
Age isn't the issue for these killers, it's their mental well being. And that affects all ages.

Also, liberals remain idiots all their life.
So i propose:
Men: 26 and above
Liberals: Never.Ever.
5 or 10 round magazines wouldn't have saved a single one of those kids. Quit pushing an agenda of feel good legislation that won't make any difference. That's a major problem society and politicians have. Let's address the real issues which are culture and mental health.Tumble Weed said:WestTexasAg said:

Same as you. Hunted all my life and enjoy shooting guns.
I think that it is reasonable, but there is no room for discussion about being in the middle. My opinions are unpopular on both sides.
Personally I think that high capacity magazines, (over six rounds), should be worth a closer look. Don't care if it is a handgun or a rifle.
"No honest man needs more than 10 rounds in any gun," Sturm Ruger & Company co-founder, the late William Ruger Sr., told Tom Brokaw in 1992.
It won't save everyone, but it might save a few.
