Democrats want to raise the age to buy a rifle to 21 but it is okay for 16 year olds to vote? Agree? (Page 2)

[DarkWinterNights]

If they aren’t old enough to buy a gun they aren’t old enough to vote in elections that can effect millions if not the entire country.

[TrueConfection]

They'd better raise the draft age too!

[Screamsgutter]

Wow, beat me to it. They had to do that during the Vietnam war. The voting age was 21 a few years going into the war even though they were drafting18-20 year old. I'm often astounded by the lack of common sense that appears in politics, government and the justice/court system. Why would anyone think it was ethical drafting men too young to vote but old enough to be drafted to fight in a war they have no political say in?

I think 25 should be the age. Not 21. The only people that should be able to buy an AR at the age is ex military

I vote red by the way

[StickStickity13]

It makes more sense for 16 year olds to vote than 18 year olds to own weapons that can kill dozens of people in a minute

[Anonymous]

Don't forget they want to drop the age of consent into the single figures, anything for them to spread the Democratic DNA

Voting is a more fundamental right than buying a rifle. You can wait till you’re 21 to go hunting.

[DryGermanGuy]

I would really like to see the statistic, how many people actually go hunting with these rifles... might be between 0,25% and 0,5%?

[foxsquirrell]

I agree with the first part not with the second part.

[bamesjond0069]

No. Should be 40 to vote and must own a gun. If you don't own a gun you cannot vote.

[OddBeMe]

Voting doesn't kill people. Liquor, cigarettes and guns do. So its not like the logic isn't sane.

[Anonymous]

So I guess that means conservatives don't want young people to have a voice, but are okay with them owning a weapon of war to murder people. 🙄

[FunkyMonkee]

Of course! They want it both ways!!

[Anonymous]

Last time I checked, it's not okay for 16 year olds to vote.

[Anonymous]

Raising the age to buy weapon will not help. People will still go on a killing spree, if you hurt their feeling.

[jjj101010]

Not sure about 16 year olds voting but the gun thing may help reduce kids shooting up their schools

[DryGermanGuy]

That would be a start...

[HighValue]

They should raise the voting age to 21.

[msc545]

No. 18 for voting.

[WhiteBoyChill]

No. I think people should also only vote once 21

[MrTaboo]

But its ok for a 5 yo to cut their junk off.

[Anonymous]

Yes you can drink beer at 21.
