Leading Republican senators involved in gun talks on Capitol Hill have signaled that it's unlikely Congress will raise the age requirement for purchasing semi-automatic firearms from 18 to 21, instead saying they are looking at changing the criminal background check system. GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina yesterday said officials are considering a waiting period of sorts for 18- to 20-year-olds purchasing semi-automatic guns, which he said could be "two to three weeks minimally" potentially to scour juvenile records. But he added Senate negotiators are looking at ways for gun purchasers to appeal for expedited processes. Separately, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia -- the Senate's most conservative Democrat -- voiced his support yesterday for raising the age to 21 for purchasing semi-automatic weapons and questioned why individuals need to own high-powered AR-15-style guns.

I agree, 18 year olds aren't responsible enough to buy/own an AR-15. They also aren't responsible to enlist in the military, or vote and those ages should be raised accordingly as well.

How many votes would Dems lose if the voting age was raised to 21?

What if we add mandatory education, training, and vote-storage requirements too?

Asking for a friend.

I don't vote for any party that supports Gun Control. Proceed at your own peril Repubs.

LOL, yeah right. This is just smoke and mirrors to give the RINO cucks cover for voting against the Constitution, because this doesn't put money in their pockets. Manchin and Toomey are chomping at the bit to get their pet anti-gun legislation passed. We can all cheer Manchin when he's blocking Biden, but this isn't one of those cases.

^^^This, we should move everything up if 18 year olds are not old enough, if we give an age for one right in the constitution we need to give the same age to them all

[Inkslinger]

If they really cared about kids, they would raise the age to use social media to 21.

Agreed. Someone in Colion Noir's comment section brought up a good point: They're going to try and sue DD for this kid having their rifle, but why not sue the government for them passing a background check.

"Them" say that, but then say that infants are mature enough to determine if they want a sex/gender change. Freakin' world is getting turned up side down.
