Age of majority is age of majority. If you're 18 you should be able to buy a gun. I do not agree with the current 21 year old handgun law either.

I think those are things we can give ground on. There are on line instructions to accomplish the same thing bump stocks do without spending $300. Young people who have been raised trapping and hunting are no danger when it comes to gun purchases, but to the many who have not I think it is alright to run purchases through the parents until age twenty one. I may be playing the devils advocate here, but let the discussion begin.

Our sportsman's club financially supports 4 different high schools who have trap shooting teams. The number of kids shooting has really grown each year. More girls getting involved each year too. Watch the main stream media manufacture their fake news to do their best to put an end to this.

. Should change from NRA to NCYGRA.

NCYGRA?

These posts are are too early in the game. Left hoping to turn us on Trump.

1-Trump can't EO this.
2-The ATF can't make this law.

Congress has to write the law and pass it. I'm hoping this is just lip-service to weather the storm the left is bringing apon us.

News flash...Trump is the left...He's a New York City Democrat, Clinton cohort.

Edit: this is the time for Trump to show what side he really is on. He really is a reformed Dem or he just bamboozled a whole lot of folks.

If you look at this from the perspective of curtailing a different right to protect people, things get stupid real quick...

People are quick to point out that your rights aren't limitless. The old adage about yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater comes up...

Interestingly enough, there have been instances where someone yelled and caused a panic stampede in a public venue... And in those cases the person(s) responsible were held responsible for their actions.

What didn't happen was an immediate call for "common sense" legislation to prevent further tragedies. "For God's sake there were children in those theaters!"

There was no call for licensing and background checks for the ability to speak/yell. No capacity restriction... We are still allowed to speak at decibel volumes over a whisper. We can still cup our hands around our mouths to better project our voices... "Bump speaking" There is no ban on tape recorders... "fully automatic voice projection instruments" No call for confiscation or voluntary surrender of vocal cords.

It seems ridiculous When you compare the two. But people have indeed been killed by someone using their voice to incite panic... And multiple people died as a result.

We punished people who abused an otherwise normal activity. We didn't punish everyone who choose to use their voices in a lawful, responsible manner.

I don't have a problem with the proposal... As long as we raise the age to exercise all of our other constitutional rights too.

21 to vote!!! Wonder how that will go over?

Mike

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.

Again, who or what do you'll think is footing the bill for all these protests?

Just listen to the kids it's been all scripted, they were saying things that they would have never heard of, just to many things stink hear, this is reminds me of another shooting but not the last two big ones

Makes you all wish Hillary would of won, huh?

Not at all. How about yourself?

Makes you all wish Hillary would of won, huh?

I know what you're saying Gray Dog. My stance was stated many times prior to the election, "anyone but Hillary".

I knew going in I wouldn't agree with everything Trump does but he was still the best choice of the only two people who could become president. If you're a gun owner and its important to you, he was the only reasonable one to vote for and I still stand behind that 100%. No matter how bad he does, he's better than her.

Tweed are you a snowflake ? Just asking..lol

The grit of the American man has vanished. Long before this latest compromise by trump and the NRA. It is hard to find the exact point on the timeline. When I heard voting for the lesser of two evils dogma is when I realized we're done. "Well at least he's better than her". Turn out the lights, the parties over. Another clue that the grit is gone are the comments that people are too busy to protest, tp become involved in politics besides showing up to vote and ridiculing those that do vote differently. Keep sending those checks to the compromiser-in-chief until the whole works ends up in a dust heap.

Must of been thinking of this fake one from before.

A bunch of high school students left class today to protest about gun control with some of our Democratic "leaders" in Madison,WI. A 15 year old girl was wailing on the radio that she was forced to learn at 5 years of age, how to hide under her desk and hope to avoid getting shot. At 5 years of age I was shown how to get to the cellar of our school where emergency supplies were stored, stay low and kiss your as goodby as the Commies were going to nuke us. Nothing I could do about that but at 5 years old I would have been able to return fire to a school shooter with my Red Ryder.

What happened? After the horrible event of Columbine?? What has changed??
It has been ALL just EVIL/BAD!
What has changed since that horrible tragedy years ago??

They look at an object that cannot move itself, on it's own, some human has to move it.
A nice big picture can hang upon a Wall, if a human, dog, etc sits below this big picture,
the big picture could fall off the Wall and seriously harm the human, dog, cat, etc sitting under the big picture.

I agree, but I may be a bit biased since I'm 18.

the big picture might even harm the floor, if its hardwood it could dent it.

I do not mind the 21 law for handguns, too many kids are hotheads these days .

A person did not have to be 21 to buy ammo in the late sixties cause I bought lots of it at age fifteen. I also bought two MILITARY RIFLES at Mackies Discount Sporting Goods in Abilene Texas at seventeen. And when the firing pin broke on the 6.5mm Japanese Arasaka I took it to high school and WITH THE TEACHERS PERMISSION rebuilt the firing pin in the FFA class shop. Pulled the bullets out of a few rounds and dumped the powder AND TEST FIRED IT IN THE SHOP. It was still working fine a couple years later when I sold it to a friend. 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!

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.

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.

I always remove mags, clear chambers, and leave the action open... Pull the belts out of the belt fed ones too

And another this sick stuff has been going on for several years just trolls/bots playing game it that was truly the goal you would think they would be better at it!

The kids at the marches holding signs saying No NRA money. That is ridiculous.

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.”

This quote by the president is more of an indictment of the federal department of education than anything to do with gun laws. Why does the president have ANYTHING to do with what happens in my local school? 'A lot of people will be opposed...' Duh, maybe let decisions be made at a local level. We know what is better for us than a bureaucrat in D.C.
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.

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 buses trains and taxi's all operated by professional trained drivers. End the madness. Ban POV's

Who's idea was it for Feds to take over education? Not Conservatives Id bet. Im all for each state making their own decisions. Counties even.
