You keep putting words in my mouth that legal ownership is a cause...it isn’t. If you just don’t think any of this is a big enough issue to do ANYTHING, then sure that’s a consistent opinion. I would say your opinion is becoming the minority one today. Increasing the age limit a couple years isn’t any real assault on your rights. To say otherwise is mostly fear mongering.

Umm Parkland? It’s obviously a complex issue, but having conversations about it shouldn’t scare people. Obviously the nightclub shooting or Vegas would still have happened. Causing the shootings is a very strong statement. The ability for an 18-20 year old to buy a gun is not the CAUSE of shootings. I just think stricter limits, on age ranges most agree are more prone to emotional outbursts, makes sense.

Before anyone points to the bill of rights...yes I understand the right to drive a vehicle is not found there, BUT I got my license at age 16....yet it was a conditional license (couldn’t drive past 9:00pm, etc.). Even if you don’t support a federal age minimum at 21, can’t we at least make some conditions to gun ownership at younger ages? Additionally wait times, proof of safety courses, etc? Something!?

Last I checked, full autos for personal ownership are not federally legal. Since when...the 80’s? I get you are not modifying into a true fully automatic rifle, but if it’s having a similar effect we are splitting hairs. Are you arguing otherwise?

I like the minimum age being raised to 21 and legislation on bump stocks, especially considering they are designed to circumvent existing regulation. The increased age requirement is my favorite, I think there is enough appetite for it even among gun owners.

Props to Trump! I’m sure he’ll change his mind twenty more times, but I like what he’s putting out on the issue right now.

Law is the law, but she was only a few years older. This isn’t sleeping with an 8th grader crazy. Some decent lookers lately.

Doesn’t anyone WORK anymore!!!

At the heart of it he’s a people pleaser. I don’t think it’s much more than that quite honestly.

That’s an interesting thought. Are you referring to the bump stock ban he threatened via EO?

.@POTUS: “I’d rather have you come down on the strong side instead of the weak side. The weak side would be much easier. I’d rather have you come up with a strong, strong bill, and really strong on background checks.”

I’m waiting on Conservatives’ comments... How would this statement have been received if it came from the former administration? I think“meltdown” wouldn’t do it justice...

“Take the gun first, go through due process second.” - The Don Thoughts conservatives?

Trump supporting age increase, bump stock ban (even if it takes EO), and bolstering the background check system!! Can’t stop him from winning over gun nuts. Winning!

I’m in full cynic mode with this lousy franchise. Sadly, we look several years away. I am among the guilty of being duped by the former GM. It’s actually pretty shocking in hindsight how poorly some of the decisions panned out. The reason I see a long rebuild has always been the current roster. Between their apparent apathy most nights on the ice and observed behavior from time to time around the local bar scene, I don’t see a lot of maturity or leadership.

Wouldn’t you just say the picture is fake anyway? Don’t be so close minded to a changing earth brah

It always comes back to “I’m cool because I’m so open minded. You’re like...so close minded brah.” It’s a look at me thing. Kyrie is a perfect example of this inflated ego.

Flat earth morons literally reject math outright. You can’t reason with this type of idiot. It’s not worth the time. I understand how tempting it is, because they are all also extremely arrogant. It’s so brave to question everything...just ask them.

Thought of another one... Party Down was a great show that unfortunately only got a couple seasons.

Flat earth cultists are among the dumbest people you will encounter in life. Trying to debate these people is a fool’s errand. They are completely !@#$ed in the head.

The only bad deal would be no deal, but I’m confident something will get done.

Well his cry for help was answered...

I typically limit my efforts to things that actually have a chance in hell of happening. You’re not going to stop everything. It makes sense to me to limit an emotional teenager (especially with the arrested development we see today) from purchasing a high powered rifle.

I think they qualified it with “certain types of rifles” or something like that. It would have to be carefully crafted, but I fail to see how this would INEVITABLY lead to any assault on the second amendment or taking guns from people. As others have stated, 21 is the age in many areas for handgun ownership. I grant this is only one part of the issue, but it IS a part despite what hardliners would have you believe.
