But isn't life a little more complicated than that?

For example, a depressed, troubled, but generally law abiding 18 year old can buy an assault rifle and bring it to school. Why not raise the age limit to decrease the chances of an 18 year old bringing an assault rifle to school?

The hero in the mall was just 22 years old. Just curious, how do you correlate depressed and troubled with age?

What? I am just saying that troubled/depressed kids exist. But because they are law abiding, they can buy an assault rifle (without a considerable waiting period). This does not seem wise to me.

And I'm not asking the age limit to be 22, so I am not really sure how your comment is relevant.

5,001: They factually cannot buy an assault rifle. They and the seller will go to federal prison for a very, very long time.

You guys are truly hilarious.

Being able to buy an AR-15 on your 18th birthday is not that funny though.

Don’t worry, they will send their thoughts and prayers when we have a mass shooting.

Apparently it would be easier, just the most basic of points on the subject, they refuse to learn, even though it sinks their argument from the get go. 'Indisputable Mechanical Facts About The Basic Function Of The Most Common Guns 101' is evidently a difficult course.

Hahaha. Agree - it’s like trying to teach older white men about social progress.

Sounds racist and ageist.

Yes but is it really any sillier than the majority of his posts?
