CNN host Piers Morgan says people under the age of 25 should not be allowed to buy guns, in light of recent shootings around the country.
Wading into the national gun debate, Morgan took to Twitter this week to argue about what he called the "absurdity" of the Second Amendment.
He pointed out that the recent Maryland mall shooter, Darion Marcus Aguilar, was 19-years-old. He reasoned that people can't drink alcohol before the age of 21 or rent a car before turning 25, so the government should establish similar standards for gun ownership.
"The 19yr-old mall shooter in Maryland was not legally allowed to buy an alcoholic drink until 21," Morgan tweeted. "But was able to legally buy a shotgun."
"It's almost impossible to rent a car under the age of 25 in America - why not regulate guns the same way? Just common sense," he added.
Many of the recent high-profile shootings around the country have come at the hands of people who were under the age of 25.
The Sandy Hook shooter, Adam Lanza, was 20-years-old at the time of the Connecticut shooting...

Ship this idiot OUT of the US!
Gee, Piers, many of us were toting evil black assault rifles (the real type, not wanna-bes, long before we turned 21, let alone 25.
BTW, we also used them.
BTW, the solution is lower the drinking age back to 18. A guy ought to be able to have a beer before deploying to Afghanistan and firing his Ma Deuce.
Sorry Morgan, we kicked your ancestor's @sses to have this right enshrined. No man, government, or international bureaucracy can take this away from us. And that's over YOUR dead bodies, not ours.
Ummmmm ... I don't think Lanza bought the gun. He murdered the lawful owner and stole the gun.
So following this theme, why not prohibit anyone who is under the age of 25 from serving in the military, Mr. Morgan? If under 25's are all too unstable to be trusted with guns, how can they be trusted with nuclear weapons?

Yeah my dad gave me my first gun when i was 12 a single shot 20 ga. shotgun.
Can we deport this annoying Brit?
Preach it, Brother!
Piers, a 16 year old driving a 3 ton SUV can kill as many as one with a gun, if they are crazy/evil enough.
Or with a gas can.
Or all sorts of other things.
Fine. No votes for anyone under 25. Deal?
How about no guns or armed guards for anyone with a cable teevee show?
Dopey Morgan once again proves that just because you have an upper-class British accent doesn’t mean you are smart. Morgan just needs to lay his cards on the table. He doesn’t want anyone to have guns, period.
Every time something like this happens, the Left wants to create new laws to ban something. You’d think they’d get tired of their stupidity constantly on display.
better - no guns for liberals, they hate them anyway. no guns for foreigners, period. legal or not.
No TV Shows For People Under IQ 25
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Damn that bugged the hell out me back when.
The “Progs” think they can snuff out the safeguard
of Liberty by cutting out the education of our
young in their 2nd Amendment Rights.
If they succeed for only a few generations they
will be proved right.
Educate a young person, take them shooting, teach
them how to do it correctly and safely, and inculcate
pride in their heritage, it is all that stands between
them and slavery.
I don’t know it for a fact but I suspect that the
dearth of .22 ammo is somehow tied to this effort
to stop the inclusion of young into our tradition.
What firearm is MOST often used to bring beginners
into the sport??
.22
