We will have to disagree.

My children by age 16 were responsible shooters with semi-autos, as was I and my brother, as was my father and his brothers.

I'm sorry for you that your upbringing was lacking.


I hope they never get pissed off at you for some reason.
Make sure their allowances' are in full and on time.

@thackney

I know children who've had excellent upbringing, with siblings who are responsible...while they are not.

Yet very few would have even had the thought cross their minds of shooting up a school.  Why is it so much more common now?  Is it because in the 1950s, we didn't have a lot of small-cartridge carbines with fast-change magazines?

They get angry at me frequently, as I do them.  But like normal people, we work it out.  We are not insane, shooting each other over disagreements.

About a hundred million gun owners in this country act the same.

For people willing to kill others over anger, they are not limited to semi-auto guns.

Two completely different topics.


We are equating the idea that a 16yr old person should be able to USE a gun.
With the idea that a 16yr old should be able to BUY a gun.

Guns we're commonly brought to school when I grew up.  We hunted and trapped before and after school.  It wasn't a lack of access to guns that prevented us from shooting each other.

We were raised with high expectations and taught consequences to actions, as my children are.  Not enough of my children's classmates are taught the same.

Singling out this one semiautomatic rifle is one of the more bizarre aspects of this issue.

@mountaineer

Especially given the fact that no rifle anywhere has ever shot anyone. It is always the people pulling the trigger that do the shooting.

What next,we going to blame cars for drunk driving?

White House on ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban: ‘We Haven’t Closed Doors on Any Front’

During Tuesday’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked about a proposed “assault weapons” ban and said, “We haven’t closed the door on any front.”

I don't want 16 year olds with weapons unless they are fighting with me or for me. Those guys will kill anybody. Because they are too young to know the result on them.


It is more than reasonable that the age to buy a weapon should at least match or exceed the age you need to be to buy a beer.

I was shooting high powers competitions at 15. Never killed anybody, but I did meet my future husband.

Last 3 gun challenge I was at Ft. Benning there was a 16 year old and a couple of 12 year olds competing.

I had a machine gun and grenades when I was 18.  Flew a multi-million dollar aircraft with missiles and really serious machine guns not long thereafter.

I never randomly killed anyone.

NONE of all this macho bravado is relevant to my only point. Yes. I agree with all of you. When I was a kid, home alone, and hungry. I picked up a gun, got some food, and cooked and ate it. I did all that stuff just like you guys ("us") did. True story, my mom was actually mad that I didn't save any for her. You snooze, you lose. That's ok. I'll go get her one. She has to cook it herself.

That is not what I am talking about. Do we want 12yr olds or 16yr olds to be able to BUY guns? It is about buying guns, not using them.

This is not about shooting competitions or hunting. Do you want some pissed off kid to be able to go and buy a goddam Luger? That is an insane idea.

Handguns are already limited to age 21.  But I bought my first semi-auto pistol under the same restriction at age 17, alone without parents.  It wasn't a dark alley but an open auto parts swap meet.  Such laws don't stop anyone who would be willing to break laws, like shooting someone.

It is feel good legislation without any impact in reality.

Banning the purchase of them by those you consider too young will have the same effect as banning purchase of alcohol or drugs.  Know any kids that bought those?

So you managed to score a weapon at some random auto-parts store. That sounds fairly back-alley to me. That is not at all the point. Restricting sales to minors does not affect the black market. So then, what does it hurt? If it has no effect, then just do it. Who cares?
