        An 11 YO smarter than a legislator. That's because they think with common sense and aren't jaded by money or political party.

        So true. The kid sounds like he has a lot of heart and common sense. A combination he shouldn't be reprimanded for.

        The leader of that pack should be the one dismissed. What a sorry and cowardly display. He should be ashamed.

        And furthermore, if my teammate was kicked out for something like this, not sure I'd want to be a part. Be nice to see a walk out.

        I got kicked out of my BS Troop in ‘69 for telling Troop Leader (Ret Gunnery Sgt) were just a junior paramilitary force.

        Kid, those of us who want gun control have been asking that for years. It deserves an answer.

        Lautenberg Amendment. 1997. Barred from purchase, transport, or ownership. Who was wrong again?

        So it is a felony to own, but they don't have to turn them in?

        They don't have to turn them in and it doesn't cover all domestic abusers. Loopholes are huge. Should be closed. No big deal.
