WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Tuesday setting an age limit for buying AR-15-type assault rifles, the type purchased legally by a teenager who shot dead 17 people at a Florida high school last week, was under consideration

Isn't there already a minimum age already?

Just curious.

 

[enigma]

Federally, it's 18. That could be changed to 21, 25, etc...

 

[ArmedCorgi]

If we learned anything from Sandyhook, you don't need to purchase one to have access to one. This is so fucking stupid.

 

[Marine Cpl]

So you purchase a Mini 14 instead. Or an SKS. Same shit.

No @Willjr75 haven't you been watching the news? It's the AR15 that is doing this. It's what it's built for.

It be the same as the draft, voting and selective service registration age.

Oh yeah. Sorry. I forgot. That's why I keep mine unloaded.

 

[GOPerfect]

Legally, they could raise the limit. I don't think that would be considered unconstitutional.

Damn the FF for not being more specific.

Violation of the 14th amendment.

I disagree. The Constitution has no age limit. What if they made it 50?

 

[ArmedCorgi]

It's easy to forget. That's why there are so many of these shootings.

Sorry, my attempt at sarcasm.

We hear it all the time that the FF's we're not specific enough when they wrote the 2nd amendment.

Wh

y not make it 89 and 3/4.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I'm clearly being sarcastic since im frusterated....


So are they going to raise the age on mini 14's next? Since they do more or less the same thing..

Why stop there....just raise the age for ALL semi auto rifles...


And
M1 garand
m1a /m14
M1 carbine
Sks
AKs
Saiga
Su16
Mini30

Etc..


Since they are all pretty much the same and all. If you raise it for ARs every one of those will be next on the list



Once it starts it's a damn slippery slope where one can easily lead to the next.


The recent "gun grabbing" is strong. Be aware....

 

[soylentBlue]

Sure, raise the age requirement to whatever, but the age requirement for all other rights should go up along with it. 21 to buy an AR15? 21 to vote then.

 

[RayKnobs]

To raise an age limit for "assault weapons" only they would need to legally define what an assault weapon is (again) on the books. I have seen several stories that say in the headline that they want to raise the age for AW's. When you read the actual story it's raising the age limit for ALL firearms. I would be less worried about an age limit and more worried about the definition they come up with.

 

[dwa12479]

They should make it like alcohol, no one can have any before they're 21..... Problem solved.

 

[Deplorable Me]

It's a stunning reflection on the maturity of the current teen population, AND THE POPULATION THAT RAISED THEM. In WWII they were given Garands, grenades, C4 and machine guns. They were taught to operate tanks, airplanes and battleships. Some as combat medics hailed enemy fire to save their fellow soldiers.

Teens today; they not only kill one another with guns, they text and drive killing others and can't be trusted with Tide pods.

Sorry, my attempt at sarcasm.

The 2nd amendment mentions the militia.
They also said the militia was "every white male 14-45 years old.
They clearly meant for guns to be available to 14 year olds.

What amendment in the BOR covered alcohol? I forget.

 

[Criticalt]

They clearly say AR-15 TYPE weapons.
Type will include any magazine fed semi auto rifle.
The list of guns will be impressively long.

 

[GOPerfect]

I know there is no age limitations anywhere in the BOR's, but, I am okay with the age being 18 to purchase.

Under 18, the individual is still under the responsibility of the parents, in most cases anyway. Once adult age is released, 18, no holds barred.

Ummm....the AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle (it has no select fire capability).

They will . ... This way fewer youngsters will not have an interest in guns . .. That's the theory anyways ... 21 to even shoot a gun .. Watch

 

[Celt]

Great then raise the age limit for driving, and joining the military too. If kids don't have enough common sense between 18 and 21 years old then they should not be driving or signing up for the military.

 

[Toecutter]

Always a compromise denying us our rights. Even if I did agree with this I wouldn't give them an inch . how bout take responsibility and stop raising your kids to be spoiled fucked up little monsters. I can't wait to see all these 8 year old boys that parents are convincing them they are girls putting them on hormones. Lets see what well adjusted young adults they become. These neo libs commie socialist assholes are enemies to our country we need to stop debating with them.

"Raise the age limit on guns to 21 because 18 year olds shouldn't be able to shoot up a school."

Sorry, if your kid is over 18 and still in school, you've got other things to worry about. Like why you are a failed parent!

That has to be one of the most ignorant statements I have seen here in quite some time!

I can think of many, many reasons a student would still be in school at that age.

Seriously ignorant!
