Today's 17 year old isn't mature enough to handle a gun in most cases. Neither are 35 year Olds playing video games in their parents basementI was 17 when I joined the National Guard, I could have joined the Regular army or marines......i could have then been sent over seas to kill people for the country...then, when I got home, you are saying I can't own a gun to protect my own family?
That makes sense to you?

SoftballWHO is going to mark these people as "violent"?
What about his family and friends do we take away their guns as well?Softball
A judge. The law. And not "violent", but even unstable will do. It's funny how just holding a gun can make an unstable coward find courage and turn violent. Because, well, it's a gun.
The process can be appealed. No, it won't just be an acquaintance claiming you are crazy, to get you on the list.
In the home? No, just have to keep them elsewhere or locked up properly, maybe. And they will share in the liability, if he gets them.What about his family and friends do we take away their guns as well?
Didn’t the Sandyhook shooter steal his grandparent‘s gun?In the home? No, just have to keep them elsewhere or locked up properly, maybe. And they will share in the liability, if he gets them.
NopeYou ought to be 21 to buy a gun, same as alcohol.
ProbablyDidn’t the Sandyhook shooter steal his grandparent‘s gun?
He WAS a high school studentThe media says he is a high school student.
And we all know the media NEVER, EVER LIES!!!!
It was just in a report. He was not in any school. The grandmother did survive. She will be answering many questions. The mother is a drug addict, not answering anything. No father.
So far, only Mexican surnames for the deceased. What kind of a place is Uvalde? Sounds more like Tijuana
I'm pretty sure they know where he bought the rifles and there was nothing I read that said he had a handgunA mountain of laws and regulations would not have stopped the shooting in Texas.
Salvador Ramos, age 18, was armed with a handgun. The minimum age for owning a handgun in Texas is 21. So, he obviously obtained the handgun illegally. What do you think the odds are that he obtained the AR-15 legally?
Probably slim to none.
Your idea is one of those measures which makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, but which actually accomplishes very little...
That's kind of my point.Probably
If a shooter wants a gun
He will GET a gun
The last two shooters, one, a left wing authoritarian, eco-fascist....and the latest.....a violent nut job........they were both known to the police and to their schools, both had histories of either violence or making threats of violence....
They couldn't be arrested, and they couldn't be put in a psychiatric hospital......
So......here is a way to catch the few nut jobs who are in the grey area....
If a teen is identified by the school to the point the police are called multiple times, and the police go to their home for violent domestic situations....the police could simply put the kids name and face into a data base and supply it to all of the gun stores in the state...then, when the 18-21 year old shows up....the gun store can simply refuse to sell the kid a gun....
This covers the grey area where the kid doesn't have an actual criminal record or psychiatric commitment....
When I made my post it hadn't yet been reported that he bought the rifles legally.I'm pretty sure they know where he bought the rifles and there was nothing I read that said he had a handgun
It wasnt that much money. I know some hay has been made over that but we arent talking 10's of thousands of dollars here. He had a couple grand worth of weapons.Where did he get the money to buy any weapons at all?
It was like $4,000. That would be a fortune for a part time, short time, worker at Wendy's and a grandma that's the sole support of felon grandpa and drug addict mom. Where did he get that kind of money?It wasnt that much money. I know some hay has been made over that but we arent talking 10's of thousands of dollars here. He had a couple grand worth of weapons.
So?That's kind of my point.
