If you can raise the age of firearm purchase to 21, what’s to stop them from raising it to 99? Or 256?
I wonder at what age I have access to my 4th Amendment Right?
Never. Oh yeah.
I believe it falls under the category of infringement.
So I was talking about this with my 14 year old son last night, and we discussed how here in Ohio, you have to be 18 to purchase a long gun, but must be 21 years old to purchase a hand gun.
We then talked about the 21 year age requirement in FL, and he asked a couple of questions:
“So dad, can you buy me a rifle and give it to me today as a gift?” I believe the answer to that question is yes.
He then asked, “Can you buy me a handgun and give it to me as a gift now, or even when I’m 18?”
I guess I don’t know the answer to that question....
His last question, “How old were the boys who had guns when they signed the Constitution?”
His thought was that as long as his parents can make the purchase and give it to him as a gift, then we are saying he’s responsible and ready to own a gun. And if that’s OK, the new law is OK.
If not, he does not like the change. I appreciated his perspective and line of questioning.
Let’s pass a law restricting freedom of speech to those over 21. Those Marjory Stoneham liberal juveniles are abusing the privilege.
