21 to serve your country also? How would that go over?
It will be a shame if they allow an 18yr old to go into combat and risk his life but tell him he can’t purchase a firearm. I really disagree with Trump on this one, he should not have budged on any gun policies. I don’t think it will help his case when it comes to re- election.


He won’t lose a single gun owner vote to any democrat they run against him. Would you have voted for Hillary if you knew Trump would not veto a law banning bump stocks??

The ONLY REASONABLE GUN CONTROL IS (1) always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. (2)never point the gun at any thing you don't want to kill or destroy. (3) make sure of your target and what is behind it. (4) unload the chamber before putting it in a vehicle or crossing a fence. (5) always assume the gun is loaded. (6) never rely on the guns safety (7) USE BOTH HANDS AND AIM SMALL. Give the gun banning idiots an inch and they will still want a mile!


Quote! It may have been State Law difference, but it WAS Age 21 here in Indiana, mostly Hardware Stores sold ammunition back then, I read The Signs inside The Store!
In Texas and Wyoming State Laws could have been different! Here in Indiana, the print was even on Box .22 cal. shells it even read inside the paper flaps on the ends Must Be 21, Range 1 mile! I may even have a box or 2 around here, OLDE! I have a box of .22 Caliber Shorts which were common back then, hard to find nowadays, maybe State Law differences, I didn't ask my Lawyer back then Why! I was too busy Trapping , Hunting, Target practicing (plinking)! Good 'Ole Times! .22 Caliber shorts were good for 'Coon, Red Fox, groundhogs, etc.
You forgot one, NEVER CROSS A FENCE WITH A LOADED FIREARM and others! SAFETY FIRST!
I AM 'NRA' ALL THE WAY! So anything that can help, will be Helpful, in the long term, But honestly, I believe there has been enough, way far enough changes to "Our 2nd Amendment", what has those changes done??

I personally would not Kansas Rook, but if you blend any type of gun bans, not building the wall, not repealing Obamacare, etc. That’s when i will worry. I know his term isn’t over yet so we shall see.

Rule (4) make sure the chamber is empty before putting gun in a vehicle or crossing a fence. I didn't forget squat. And although I am a lifetime NRA member now I was taught those rules by my father and grandfather before I knew there was a National Rifle Association. About age six or seven.

The president said the administration would look “very strongly” at the option for “concealed carry” at schools, but acknowledged that “a lot of people will be opposed to it.”

“Concealed carry only works for people that are very adept at carrying a gun,” Trump said. “Where a teacher would have a concealed gun on them, go for special training and they would be there and you would no longer have a gun free zone.”

Trump added: “A gun-free zone to a maniac, they’re all cowards, it’s ‘let’s go in and attack because bullets aren’t coming at us.’”

The president said that an attack lasts, on average “three minutes.”

“It takes five to eight minutes for first responders. So the attack is over. If you had a teacher who was adept at firearms, they could very well end [the attack],” Trump said. “We are looking at that very strongly. A lot of people will be opposed to it. A lot of people are gonna like it.”

Shouldn't One Also Make Sure The Magazine Is Empty Before Placing A Firearm In A Motor Vehicle ?

I Don't Know About The Firearms Laws In Your State, But In Most Places

A Firearm [Excluding A Handgun} Must Be Unloaded In Both The Chamber AND THE MAGAZINE.



You'd Be Cited For A Firearms Violation In Many States For Having A Long Gun

With A Loaded Magazine In A Motor Vehicle.

Loaded (round of ammo in the chamber) long gun is legal in a vehicle in Kansas unless your spotlighting deer.....any legal means of killing a deer is illegal to have in a vehicle if you are spotlighting deer. (pistol, rifle, bow or xbow) even if you have a ccl.

I believe he is missing a great opportunity to make government smaller (not surprisingly). If some district doesn't want constitutional carry in their school, well, that is their perogitive. I'm quite sure the stickers would be coming off the doors of my local school.

If its allowable to have "sanctuary" cities and states, lets also have cities and states that allow open carry, and the same for gun bans. See which works the best.

Schools without guns, schools with armed personnel. Send your kid to the school of your choice.

Many states don't require the magazine to be empty as well.
Some states require the gun be locked in the trunk and completely unloaded, those states also require many other onerous things. One of the main reasons I don't live there. If I posted the other reasons I don't I would be sent on a very long vacation and possibly be told to not come back. I'll leave it at that.

I believe I will not support a candidate again who doesn't strive to eliminate every gun control law in every state. I want a candidate that believes the job of the federal government is to first make sure no states trample on the bill of rights. That their other primary purpose is to maintain a military whose primary purpose is PREVENT INVASION. So in the eyes of most of you I am going to throw my vote away. I am quite sick of politicians and their posturing and lying.

When I was kid a 6 year old could buy a postal money order, send it to sears, and in a few weeks the mailman would bring him his new ted Williams shotgun. I don't remember any gas station, hardware store or anybody else with an age restriction on buying ammo. Yes there were mass killings. Its why all that changed. We still have mass killings. We will still have them after more law is passed.

I WANT MY LIBERTY

I know what you are saying Flynn, and I agree but then why do they think people in Florida have the right to tell Minnesotans what should or shouldn't be banned? It is a two-way street but these people think it should be their street making all the calls!

Alcohol kills 4700 teens a year but no one wants to ban beer even though it is easier and cheaper to get than the guns.

Ban privately owned cars and pickups. They kill more people than any other man made tool ever invented. They are not even regulated. Anybody that wants one can walk onto a car lot with a couple thousand in cash and drive away in one. These things are causing global warming, lung cancer, and premarital sex. Why do we see the things everywhere???????????????????????????????????? Whats the attraction??????????????? I think people buy them because they have low self esteem. there is no reason to continue allowing them. 100 years ago a few people needed them for transportation. That is no longer the case. In the modern world we have busses trains and taxi's all operated by professional trained drivers. End the madness. Ban POV's
