Of course it will. Look how well midnight basketball worked to deter crime.
Does that include their military and law enforcement? Perhaps it could go along with removing their right to vote, borrow money for college, drink booze, murder their unborn, and drive. Seems like vehicles are more frequent killers by under 25 drivers than guns.
Than?
But are sex laws considered laws of violence?
Oh sure, we all no rape and sexual assault are violent.
My point is, 7 year olds showing themselves to each other, today can have consequences.
I have a distant cousin, who at 13 or 14 got to feely with a younger cousin. Today at 19, he still has to register as a sex offender, and according to state law, will for the rest of his life.
If you pee along the side of a road and are "caught" by a cop, you can be charged as a sex offender.
What guy in years past hasn't pee'd by the side of the road?
Point being, there are some things that are worthy of sex offender charges and others that are not. Some things done as a CHILD will stick with a person forever.
If all sex offenders are considered violent crimes, then there could be ALOT of people who would not be able to own a gun.
Secondly, as I was writing this, the thought occurred to me. What about young kids in playgrounds who play cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers, good guys bad guys or even pimps and ho's? They chase each other around with their fingers pointed "shooting" each other, and are hauled in before the principal and police for a 5 hour interrogation and suspended from school. Or the Jr high or HS kid who draws a picture, or has a picture of a gun on his laptop, and the schools zero tolerance policy, so the interrogate him and suspend or expel him. Are these also considered "violent" crimes.
To you or I, we would say no.
But to liberals, who knows what bounces around in their empty craniums? The very fact that 5 year olds get interrogated, without their parents, for simply pointing their finger and saying bang, raises enough concern over what the liberal "mind" might think of.
I highly doubt this would pass, much less be held constitutional.
I, on the other hand, believe that the voting age should be raised to 25. With a change that 26 year olds to remain on their parents insurance, continue a life of delayed adulthood and responsibility, it would behoove us that only those more mature and independent get the franchise.
So if you commit a crime under 25, you have to wait until you’re 25 to own a firearm?
Hey man, I have double/single action hand guns so I don’t pop off a toe when I retrieve one from my pocket. I just don’t feel comfortable carrying locked and cocked.
Just incredible. Some people have really lost the ability to think. Perhaps it’s time to round up our politicians and put them in re-education camps until they can think clearly and understand the U.S. Constitution.
‘‘(11) has not attained 25 years of age, and has
10 been adjudicated by any court as having committed
11 an offense that would have been a crime of violence
12 (as defined in section 16) if committed by an adult;
25 years of age AND having committed a violent crime.”
Yes. I too bothered to read the bill. But why 25? Why not use a number more consistent with the threshold for adulthood, say 21, which is the current threshold for legal handgun ownership? 25 doesn’t make any sense to me.
Well the honest law abiding ones anyway, because THOSE are the ones we need to worry about.
It’s worked so well in Chicago!
Well the honest law abiding ones anyway, because THOSE are the ones we need to worry about.
Why can’t we just be honest about it?
Ban blacks from owning guns.
gun crimes plummet by 75% overnight.
Of course. :)
Make sure they are well aged, like cheese or wine.
Plenty of people have been involved in fist fights at some point. If they can be on our streets, they should be allowed to own a gun. I know quite a few military people who have been arrested for fighting.(previous to enlistment) If you can die in Afghanistan, you should be able to own a gun in the country you risked your life for.
These anti-2nd Amendment morons know no limits. They have no shame. Fools...all of them. As the comedian George Wallace would say, “They need their asses kicked”.
