They are still beating this dead horse?
The wheels of government almost always turn slowly, but they have the momentum of a large oil tanker at sea, requiring miles of ocean to turn or stop them. I'm not surprised at all. It was inevitable.

Double you tee eff.
That's got to be fake news.
I heard Trump is dedicated to the 2A.
And in my cross-post in the "gun control frenzy" thread, they say they're looking at raising the age requirement to purchase "AR-15 style weapons"
I'm kinda ok with changing the age for all rifles (for purchase) to 21. Not just MSRs.
But for me that is more about having a consistent policy across several issues rather than something specific to guns.
For instance, raising the voting age to 21 makes more and more sense to me.

Except it hurts the effort to keep AR-style rifles in the same category as every other similar hunting rifle.
Now AR-style rifles are likely to get their own special class, probably with a cute name like "assault weapons".
The old AWB was a mudfest definitionally.
21 should be the mark.
Absolutely although I wish common sense was guaranteed with age but alas it isn't.21 should be the mark.
Trump and probably the GOP are working the calculus that most of the 2A world won't care about bump stocks and age limits and then can answer the charge that they did "do something". And they're probably right.
We should not raise the age for anything to 21. We should lower everything to 18. Old enough to die for your coiintry then you are old enough to vote for or out of office who put you there. Also old enough to to drink and to buy your own damn gun since they have no problem issuing you one at 17 and 18 and teaching you to kill people.
Exactly.
It's amazing how easily folks are willing to cede ground.
In defense of the legislators (some of whom I know), once the NRA was on board, that was all the cover they needed.
AMEN
