There were no laws preventing 18-20 year olds from purchasing firearms until well after the Civil War.

My wonderful, conservative republican members voted for this travesty, including my districts fella, Aaron Bean who has now been elected to Washington. RINO’s.

Shame on them all.

Therefore is should be illegal for anyone under 21 to join the military. The military is all about firearms. The Federal Government is a bunch of hypocrites. The voting age must also be changed back to 21. If those under 21 are not mature enough to own a firearm, THEY SURE AS HELL ARE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO DETERMINE WHO RUNS THE COUNTRY!!!

Without doing a lot of recreational drugs, I can’t see how anyone could determine that selling firearms to 18-20 year olds could be “unconstitutional”. It’s mostly that age group who go to war, bleeds and dies for the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Second Amendment. I believe it’s time that we start randomly piss testing Feral “judges”. They ALL seem to lack the ability to think clearly. They do whatever the Dung Beetle Party turd rollers tell them to do.

Communists never quit...
Every time they detect a glimmer of freedom & liberty needing to be stomped out, they attack, attack, attack...

More proof that:
The only good communist is a dead communist...
It is our duty as citizens to help everyone be as good as they can be...

Logic, honesty and integrity are rarely used instead of emotions for deciding such cases.

It’s easy to figure out.

Q1: Has the second amendment been abolished?

A1: No.

Q2: Have U. S. Citizens aged 18 to 21 years, reached the age of majority?

A2: Yes.

Q3: Does the proposed law infringe on the right to own and bear arms?

A3: Yes.

We’re done. And only took three seconds . . .

Florida is definitely backwards having this knee-jerk law on the books.

Among the other points raised on this thread, the Twenty Sixth Amendment granting 18 year old’s the right to vote was passed in 1971 in response to the Vietnam War. If a person was old enough to fight and die for their country, they were old enough to vote. Being old enough to vote means a person is old enough to have and have responsibility for all other rights of a adult. The implications that follow from this should be obvious.

When I was growing up in the 50’s-60’s with the other baby boomers, I got my first gun at 12, as did most of my 12-13 YO friends. In every case I know of your dad took you to the store and bought it for you. We all had dads and they paid attention to what we were doing. Many had fresh memories of WW2 and Army training so teaching their kids basic safety was an inherent process. Yes, we took our guns to school to show off. That didn’t bother anybody, but the teacher was mildly concern with what your attention was too that day, not the gun. Nobody got shot or injured except a few rabbits, squirrels, and birds.

What’s changed? I’d start with “we all had dads, and they paid attention.” The government is constantly trying to adjust laws to address problems created by social decay rather than addressing what’s causing the decay.

Back you had to be 21 to purchase handgun ammo, I knew two different guys who became peace officers before they were 21, and had to have their mommy buy bullets for them.
