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

[Mikeoxenormous]

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

You want an illegal alien to come into your house, and rape the shit out you, dont you?

 

[whitehall]

funny how the political rhetoric turned upside down in a couple of decades. A point was made back in the 60's that you could carry a gun for the military but you couldn't vote. Now the argument is that you can be trusted to vote but not purchase a firearm.

 

[Smokin' OP]

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.....

Until.............................They DO.

So, your answer is to sell them guns ?

Nope. You can’t trust an 18 year old soldier with a gun in a civilian area without regulation. . You never served have you. The military regulates firearms MORE then any state in the union.

 

[Dagosa]

No answer. At a lost for words.

 

[toobfreak]

Not gonna happen. Word this morning that it's already off the table.

Off the table, out the door and right back into the garage, as it were, eh, Jack?

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.

No. Impossible . Democrats don't want to take your guns. This must be fake news.. no way would an anti American Democrat wanna take your guns... are you an American or are you a Democrat? That's the question.

Cool by me...attach an amendment that raises the voting age and age requirement to enlist in the Armed Services and register for the draft to 21 as well.

Might as well standardize things across the board.

What the fuck is your problem? You dont like it where people are allowed to defend themselves, then go to France or Britstain.

I served at 17...I own guns, and never used them for crime....you idiot.

Why can't you trust an 18 year old Soldier in a civilian environment? Soldiers are allowed to purchase and carry firearms off duty within regulations but the argument ain't about the military or regulations, it's about reasoning ability of 18 year old's. They are considered to be adults according to the law. If they can bear arms for the government and vote in crucial elections surely they should be able to pass the instant check to purchase a firearm.

Only because the filthy Feds control the military. The Federal government is very oppressive when it comes to everything except Democrat corruption.

Wrong Moon bat.

The Democrats want to take guns away from Whites that don't vote Democrat.

They have no problem with Black or Brown thugs having firearms. For instance look at Democrat controlled Chicago.

More guns, the fewer gun crimes ? How’s that working out for you ?

Dumb fucks like you never look at where the gun crimes are happening. Gun FREE Zones. You know where they ban law abiding citizens from having guns, but the criminal he doesnt give a rats ass about the sign.

Really ? You must have your head up your ass. You’re advocating that every one have any kind of firearm.
ANYONE who even lives with a gun owner is twice as likely to be shot.
