School Shooting at FSU

^ How did these states change their laws? Crazy! It just can't be done!

Only six states — Florida, Washington, Vermont, California, Illinois and Hawaii — have increased the minimum purchase age for long guns to 21, according to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. The majority did so following the 2018 massacre in Parkland, Florida, where a then-19-year-old assailant killed 17 people at a high school.


Oh. But wait ....

There are some really patriotic Americans trying to exert their influence....


The National Rifle Association sought to repeal the Florida law.

“The ban infringes the right of all 18-to-20-year-olds to purchase firearms for the exercise of their Second Amendment rights, even for self-defense in the home,” the NRA argued in a court filing, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel. “The ban does not just limit the right, it obliterates it.”

 

Paint me however you wish. Everyone on this board ..that is honest...will tell you that I am pretty much on the left in regard to gun views.

So if you want to look silly trying to frame It otherwise, I have years of posting history to say you are wrong.

I was simply telling you, that his legal analysis (including quoting case law) was not just some yahoo yay guns type of post. He gave thoughtful responses.

 

Sir, I am not trying to paint you in any way whatsoever.

But respectfully, what you just said is nonsense. That poster was hemming and hawing that "There's just nothing we can do to fix this problem."

We've heard that crap for decades. It's waaaaay past time to call that out for what it is.

It's way past time for people to stop defending and enabling that harmful tripe just because, for instance, they may like certain posters more than others.

And if you disagree? Think about this; if Texas had changed that law, before 2022, is there at least a pretty decent chance that fewer children would have been slaughtered at Uvalde?

Of course there is.
