We don't need to punish those mature 18,19,and 20 year Olds that live on their own, and want a firearm for the protection of themselves and their families .

Why is it considered punishment? Is it punishment that we wait for kids to turn a certain age before we let them drive, or vote, or drink or do whatever? It's called COMMON SENSE. If you're freaking scared of your shadow, then get a handgun or a shotgun.
-
Its a punishment because they're having a right taken away from them. It's not really common sense at all. Arbitrary age restriction on firearms aren't going to stop school shootings. Also, you can't get a handgun til you're 21.
-
So you're an expert on what won't work but absolutely clueless on what will. The research is clear that greater access to weapons leads to more gun deaths. Let's start there.
-
That's not true at all actually. There's a negative correlation between number of firearms and firearm deaths in cities across the US.
-
Harvard Injury Control Research Center...where there are more guns, there is more homicide. Across high income nations more guns =more homicide, even when US is excluded. Across states, more guns=more homicide. More guns=more police homicide. You're wrong. So is the NRA.
-
From the American Jornal of Public Health "These studies are limited because they only examine the individual risks or benefits of gun ownership. They cannot be used to assess whether the prevalence of gun ownership in the population affects overall homicide rates"
-
Also, they only found a less than 1% rise and cannot prove it is due to firearm ownership.

He talks about opposing the NRA and raising the minimum age to 21 to buy an AR-15. You say he’s crazy?

okkkk.... You do realize that they may move the other way around (making handguns available at the age of 18, right? I mean, do you really trust them?

More so than 99% of every other politician.
