It used to age 18 to buy assault weapons in Tx until its 21

The bill, which would raise the age to purchase an AR-15-style rifle from 18 to 21, must still be considered by the entire Texas House, with deadlines to do so looming this week. Even if it were to pass — still an unlikely prospect — it would face almost certain rejection by the State Senate, where the hard-right lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, holds powerful control.

The mass shooting at a shopping center in Allen, Texas, has exerted an unexpectedly raw and emotional force on the State Legislature.

Let's say 1000 Americans are murdered every year from guns. This legislation might save 3 or 10 lives. That's a good thing. Then if they can pass a few other common sense gun bills, maybe those will save a few lives too.

There is no silver bullet but we can mitigate the damage. Guns will always be legal in America as they should be. But we need some laws that lower the numbers.

The guy who murdered the family of 5 because they told him to stop shooting his guns while their baby is sleeping. They should have just called the cops and the cops should have taken all his guns and taken him to jail. But it was Texas that happened so I don't know what the laws are there. Is it okay to shoot your guns in a residential area in Texas?

Yea but a lot of the nuts who go on rampages aren't criminals. What about them? If they are nuts and 19, they can't get a gun. And maybe by the time they are 21 they'll kill themselves with a knife or get properly medicated. Or be so nuts by the time they are 21 they can't get a gun.

This might help also with kids who take their parents guns and go on rampages. The new law should be, if you have kids, you better lock them up. If your kid uses one of your guns to shoot someone, then the family of the victim gets everything you got. Deal?

Nah. The Quebeckers have an excuse. The Penelope thing is just ignorant.

Since assault weapons are not sold in Texas unless the purchaser has a special FFL, your whole premise is invalid.
