    The young age of the man accused in the Florida school shooting revived the debate over age requirements for gun purchases -- in many states, 18 is old enough to buy a semiautomatic: http://cbsn.ws/2EweJQd pic.twitter.com/sn00QxT831

        An 18 yr old is considered mature enough to vote. An 18 yr old can be drafted into the military. An 18 yr old can get married. So why can't an 18 yr legally buy a gun? On second thought: Why can't the 18 yr old even buy a drink?

        Why are they selling semi automatic weapons they are meant to kill people during war time. Clips that carry more than 30 bullets is insane ! That's not protecting yourself but to kill multiple people !!!

        Gov. Rick Scott signed 5 Pro-gun bills in 2014 making Nicolas Cruz fully able to purchase a gas mask, smoke grenade and an AK=47 with extra magazines. All while under the age of 21. Florida Governor Rick Scott has already signed 5 Pro-gun Bills.

        How many guns are purchased by the parent and given to their child? Reminds me of the smoking and drinking debate, they are pointless.

        18 is a good age if the person selling the weapon goes by the law. I can buy a AK47 on the streets of most cities in this country. Any one selling weapons with out a license should be put away for a long time & anyone not following the law should go to jail also!!

        And 18 should be the legal age!! At 18 they are legally required to register for selective service. If they can be legal to serve and to fight for our freedoms and country, they should be legal to protect their own freedoms in our country!!
