So they lowered the earliest buying age from 21 to 18? You can join the military at 18 (not that I think that's a particularly sane thing either), so this makes a vague amount of sense.
Why are there comments here acting like they removed the age minimum entirely?
Because the title doesn't specify, and most people only read titles.
I understand that, but it's literally in the preview text of the article (at least in the Jerboa app for android), and more importantly it's stated in the fucking body text of the post.
I didn't read the article either (this time). There's no excuse here.
People get upset about "tone policing" lately, but I can't just stay silent when it's this blatant that people are complaining about something that isn't even true.
Edit: I'm not seeing the comments that were talking about this as if they had removed the age minimum entirely now. Guess they've either been deleted or I blocked those users earlier and don't remember that I did that.
I've always thought it stupid that you could join the military and go kill people at 18, but had to be 21 to drink or smoke. The obvious solution would be to make gun ownership and military service require you be 21 though.
If you can’t be trusted with a gun you shouldn’t be in the military. No more of this “you’re an adult only when it’s convenient for us” crap.
I mean, there's a difference between trusted with a gun while supervised and trusted to have a gun at your disposal 24/7 without supervision.
I shot myself in the arm at age 3 with a pellet gun.
I learned to use a rifle at age 10, with full out safety training.
I learned to fix guns in machine shop at age 17.
As much as I've learned about weapons in my life, I still don't trust 93% of people with access to them.
Yea, my opinions of you need to be X or Y age to do A or B boils down to: "IDC, just pick one got dang number and stick to it"
Is it unethical if they sell the kids rainbow coloured “fascist-seeking” rounds?
I believe we would live in a much better world if gunpowder and the gun had never been invented.
Would we? That still leaves a lot of weapon types open for business.
Crossbows are just guns that run on springs instead of gunpowder.
Gotta imagine there'd be a lot less mass murders at school if we taught the kiddos to assume the Testudo in response to one crazy with a sword.
