Department of Defense Panel: Prohibit Gun Sales to Troops Under Age 25

AWR Hawkins 25 Feb 2023

A panel commissioned by the Department of Defense (DOD), the Suicide Prevention and Response Independent Review Committee (SPRIRC), released a report Friday in which it suggested prohibiting gun sales to troops under the age of 25.

The panel recommended barring ammunition sales t0 those under the age of 25 as well.

FOX News reported SPRIRC’s findings, noting that the panel described prohibitions against gun purchases as a “high priority.”

SPRIRC is also pushing for a national database containing serial numbers of all guns sold on DOD property as well as a seven-day waiting period for DOD gun sales.

The panel’s report also calls for “a 4-day waiting period for ammunition purchases on DoD property to follow purchases and receipt of firearms purchased on DoD property.”

Dr. Craig Bryan, one of the SPRIRC panel members, said, “What we learned over the past year was that a significant percentage of on-base suicides involve firearms purchased on base at military exchanges, and so, yes, the motive behind this really is to, in essence, slow down access to firearms,” according to CBS News.

Maybe you should focus on what’s causing the suicidal feelings in the first place?

Are they going to prohibit the sales of rope, belts and ties also since someone could hang themselves? How about plastic bags since they could suffocate themselves, prohibit those under twenty five from walking or near or climbing high areas unescorted? There are many different ways to commit suicides without a gun. Considering the fools that are in charge of our military now I guess we should expect lunacy like this, don't fix the problem, look for a politically correct response.

Exactly!

Damnit! Now they will have to beat themselves to death with a stick.

How about addressing the problem, instead of telling the guy behind the M1 Abrams main gun he can't have a pistol?
