YOu can join the military at 18 but you can’t own a gun. That makes sense. Maybe he knows they won’t give it to him. That’s the only thing I can think of.
Sell out.
A little something to try to please everybody.
Rotsa ruck eliminating the bump stock for those who want it.
:facepalm:
Hopefully they’ll be as active as getting DACA passed too.
The 2nd Amendment says nothing about background checks.
Trump needs to stop. Slow down and get the emotion out of this. This is a slick slope. No reactionary action. Never ever good.
Is the 21 age limit to buy, with an ability of a younger person to own? I owned my first deer rifle as a 14 year old. Could this still happen (say, as a gift from a parent)?
Re bumpstocks, fine, I never even heard of them until the LV whacko.
Brilliant move...
It forces those dems in red states, up for re-election
to answer to the electorate back home or the Liberal agenda

I don’t have a problem with any of the 3 proposals.

This needs to be shouted from the rooftops
We have a god given natural right to protect ourselves from mentally ill demoncrats.
Guns don’t kill people leftists do. They have a body count of over a hundred million last century.
Trump is a friggin genius, he knows what he is doing!
Trump is not an expert on disengaging constitutional rights from protected civilians. We don’t just make a list!!! We have DUE PROCESS in a jury trial to remove civil rights. NOT JUST A LIST WHICH WILL PLACE Christians and conservatives on
“Mental Illness” LISTs. What a joke. We dont do lists— WE DO DUE PROCESS , notice and hearing and jury trial. You cannot be deemed to lose the 2nd amendment!! Communists want to take your guns and then take your stuff!!
Posting on FR is soon to become evidence of a mental health issue. Dangerous subversive rebel conservatives...no guns for you!
This was announced, or in writing? Cause later today he said he would work closely with NRA. No way someone cannot buy a firearm for protection until 21. There are 18 year olds with families, and in our military, and the small matter of the voting and drinking age.
None of this would change the outcome of attack. Nor would it have changed the Sandy Hook clearly looney son of a woman who took him to rifle ranges and he took the gun out her cabinet, killed her and then went to the school.
Already getting pushback from lib mayors/heads of school systems who, even when provided with funding for training and support of armed teachers (preferably veterans) being offered-— are saying “no more guns in schools”. Idiotic, and they want no-one to have firearms, except “their” people. Just as in any communist takeover, at the mercy of military and police.
So is Trump going to push the voting age to age 21?
How about serving in the military to age 21?
so you need to be 21 to go hunting ??
So then Trump has to surrender his permit since the left considers him mentally ill. My point is that mental health as a criterion is a real slippery thing because it is so subjective, even in terms of professional diagnoses. Unless there had been an involuntary commitment or definite threats (which are criminal, not so much a matter of mental health), he should stay clear of this area. Otherwise, around 40% of Americans just lost their 2A rights (counting all the “mental heath” RXs and counselling/therapy).
Mind you, this only applies to firearms purchase, and there's no way to legislate against firearms theft, which is already illegal. But it seems painfully apparent that the current system has failed through lack of compliance on the part of the same people who now want additional regulations. The truth is that the gun prohibitionists don't actually want the current system to work even if it saves lives. They're after power.
As usual Trump is going to listen to all sides, he’s going to offer all sides some conciliatory rhetoric to placate their emotions, then he’s going to think about it for a while and then he will send his policy recommendations to the House and Senate.
We all know what happens to things when they go to the House and Senate.
