Manchin wants to raise age to 21 for gun purchases, doesn't see need for AR-15s

[easyt65]

Leave it to Democrats to want to raise the minimum age for purchasing an AR-15 to 21yo AFTER a 33yo uses one to shoot up a mall.

GOP Rep. Caves, Votes for Gun Control That Wouldn't Stop Mall Shooting

Texas state Rep. Justin Holland (R-Rockwall) caved to gun controllers Monday and voted in support of a bill, HB 2744, to raise the minimum purchase age for AR-15s and similar semiautomatic rifles from 18 to 21.

So does the age also go up for recruiting young men and women who will then be allowed to shoot automatic weapons and much worse?

You mean at 17 you can enlist and be sent around the world to kill for this country but when you come home, you wouldnt be allowed to have a rifle to protect your family

Are you advising the only remedy is to ban them for all ages since they are not responsible?

Wow, i am the guy who is against gun control, except for criminals, i guess you didnt read my post that military recruitment can have people of 18 years old, that can be put behind M-60s or fully Automatic M-4s. If the age goes up for law abiding adults of 18 to 21 then military should only allow 21 and up adults to join also.

You're a gun banner.

Keep it up, and i will call you an idiot. Again, i have posted many times that legal US citizens should be able to own any weapon of their choice. It is the criminals that need to be banned from Society. Got that? Tell me that i am a gun banner again, and i will move you to ignore so you can all be Marxists/Democrats together.

Geesus, I’m surprised they didn’t want the age limit set to 85.

You’re one strange dude. Of course, you want any firearm you can buy, along with the freedom to sell it privately to any breathing humanoid. That makes sense to all gun a holics with their strange ideas.

Manchin wants to raise age to 21 for gun purchases, doesn't see need for AR-15s

Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia voiced his support Monday for raising the age to 21 for purchasing semi-automatic weapons and questioned why individuals need to own high-powered AR-15-style weapons, putting him at odds with Republicans who are resisting imposing any restrictions on access to firearms.
"I never thought I had a need for that type of a high-capacity automatic weapon," Manchin told CNN on Monday. "I like to shoot, I like to go out and hunt. I like to go out sports shooting. I do all of that. But I've never felt I needed something of that magnitude."
Manchin also said he "wouldn't have a problem on looking at" backing a ban on so-called assault weapons -- a proposal pushed by the White House and Democratic leaders, but that stands no chance of winning the needed 60-votes in the Senate.

"It depends on what they, how they would approach it," Manchin said. "I'm open to anything that makes gun sense."


The comments from the Senate's most conservative Democrat -- who hails from a state with a strong gun culture -- show growing Democratic support for imposing tough new gun laws as senators try to see whether there can be any compromise with Republicans to deal with episodes of gun violence ravaging communities nationwide. The position underscores how the two sides still have a number of major disagreements to resolve as they race to cut a deal this week amid public outcry over mass shootings nationwide.

Manchin is part of a small bipartisan group of Senate negotiators trying to finalize a deal on guns. The negotiators are not discussing some of President Joe Biden's demands such as renewing the expired assault weapons ban, but they are looking at a handful of changes, including incentivizing states to enact red flag laws, which allow guns to be temporarily taken away from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others, expand background checks on gun purchases, bolster the mental health care system and beef up school security. There is also discussion about new regulations on gun trafficking between states and potential new legislation on storing weapons safely at gun owners' residences.

Given that there is a AR behind every blade of grass in WV it looks like he's giving himself a out.

So..there are .270 and 30-.06 ARs?

 

[BothWings]

That would be up to congress and the military. I am sure Manchin was referring to civilians. By your implied logic, civilians would also be allowed to possess nuclear arsenals.

A nuclear warhead is not a personal defense weapon. An AR is totally a personal defense weapon, operated by an individual, made to enable that individual to defend himself against another individual or individuals attacking in a similar capacity. There's a reason they call a firearm an "equalizer".

Strange dude? I have purchased many firearms and not one of them has taken a life (yet, but will if my house is invaded). Tell me why people go out and smoke pot a holics or cocaine a holics, or criminals a holics? At least law abiding citizens dont fuck up other peoples lives.....

Smoking pot ? Hilarious. Tell me the number of deaths caused by pot smoking per year foolish.

That’s hilarious. You still want the freedom to transfer ownership of your wealth of guns to any breathing humanoid, don’t you ?
