You are the one advocating restricting an adults Rights.

I've done no such thing. Find it. All I did was bring up some issues they'll need to solve to do so safely and responsibly. Read every post of mine without the hysterics and you'll see that.

Yes. You have. You have clearly stated that college age Adults are not mature enough to carry firearms. That there should be extra requirements for them to prove they will carry safely.

This isn't "hysterics", this is just re-iterating what you have already stated.

Treat people like adults, they will act like adults. Impose extra restrictions on them, and you are taking on the mantle of the Nanny State. You know what is better than they do for them.

Look, we both support the Second Amendment. I just feel that it means exactly what it says. "Shall not be infringed". I started shooting when I was 7. I joined the Marines at 19. I'm going on 38 in another month here. I've never had an ND, a safety violation, or broken a firearms "law". I'm nothing special either.

Treating the mass of college students as a "special class" of Adults who require extra hand holding will only ensure that even fewer of them exercise their Rights or even take the time to learn how to do so safely. More barriers to their Rights is not a good thing.

Capice?
