As I wrote earlier: if they’re old enough to have consensual sex, to vote, to be drafted, to sign binding contracts and all that goes with being legally adults, they should be old enough to own and carry guns, kinda like the Second Amendment provides*.
As Iowans have just passed into law, and every state should follow suit.
*Okay, I know that when the Constitution was written and ratified, the legal age of majority was 21 — at least when it came to voting and getting married without parental consent. But seeing as at that time you could serve in the citizen militia at age 16, let’s not go down that rabbit-hole, shall we?
Today’s time is sufficient, and I’m fine with 18.
I keep thinking of the time when my kids were at college, had night classes and had to walk unarmed to their cars in badly-lit parking lots, forced to do so by stupid laws that forbade carrying guns on campus, and gun carry denied to them in toto because of their age.
And they were the law-abiding ones; their 50-something Dad was the lawbreaker, as he carried a gun onto campus every time he went there, despite the law.
I should point out that I also had a mental plan in the event of a campus shooter starting his bullshit if I were in a lecture or seminar: tell everyone — lecturer included — to overturn their desks and take cover behind them, while staying out of my line of fire pointing at the classroom door.
I remember telling one of my erstwhile professors this some time after I graduated, and he thanked me.
If 18 is the age agreed upon for being an adult then 18 years olds should be able to buy own and carry guns.
Liberals want to have a varying age for different activities.
– kids in K – 12 school are old enough to decide to mutilate their genitals and make a decision with life long ramifications about gender, yet the same liberals want to give people up to 21 before they are charged as adults for some crimes.
# Fuck the liberals
Another item on age, I think many would agree that when a young man is shown the ways of the birds and the bees from an older woman, this is not sexual abuse and not rape.
This is a dream come true for many young men.
If liberals want to allow young kids to mutilate their genitals and dress as the wrong sex then why can’t little Johnny learn about the birds and the bees with a little hands on vocational education from an older experienced woman?

Tell men that isnt a dream come true for any young man.
It was my dream come true at the ripe old age of nearly 17, she was in her late 40. She is long gone now, Bless her Soul.
The only drawback of the expérience is that I kept a taste for older women forever and thus settled long after the usual 20 or so.
I agree with you Kim. If we’re going to pick an arbitrary age when someone is considered an adult then they get all the rights and responsibilities of adulthood at that age. They should be able to buy what they want, drive, enter into contracts etc.
CM that woman you mentioned seems to be crazy.
I didn’t say to put a ring on it nor did I say to trust it. I just said to plug the holes and learn from the experience.
General rule – nobody gets to dictate how anyone else defends their life.
It’s beyond my grasp how any karen could believe they can do such a thing.
Don’t they have anything more interesting to do with their miserable lives?
BTW, the 2nd doesn’t convey rights to the citizens, it creates LIMITS on the shitstained gov’t employees bent on bullying people around – but only on that “…goddamn piece of paper!”.
That’s the detail most people miss. The constitution limits government.
The tyrants in govt seem to think the constitution is where their power is derived and feel limits are for citizens.
Yep.
Until we start killing tyrants and their associates, we might as well be wiping our ass with The Constitution ourselves. >:-[
CSU here in Colorado, gals were getting attacked but were not allowed to carry (pre-Byrna, which is legal for carry everywhere), one gal was attacked then sued the University…and won her case. Thing is – whether a gal (or anyone for that matter) carries or not, the perp’s have no idea who is carrying. It worked, as victims were free to the taking by the evil-doers.
Only a moronic Lefty would demand “gun free” zones, effectively saying one is not allowed to protect themselves as 2A provides, without a stupid permit…at night…in a dark parking lot while leaving to go home from a late class or lab session. I say tie the no gun supporters to a parking lot lamp pole, see how they like it when they become a victim by evil (although, they are Mental so likely won’t change their minds).
