Nearly 3 Out Of 4 Support Raising Legal Age To Buy Any Gun; Support For Assault Weapons Ban Hits A Low

[24 so far]

I agree to raise the age limit.

We had a pretty intense discussion at the office yesterday. My boss is liberal and is the only
Liberal in our office. The topic of ammunition came up. He couldn’t believe that the shooter had 375 rounds of ammo.

He quickly found out that 375 rounds isn’t much. We had several coworkers with ammunition in the 5000 to 10,000 round range

I'd find a new job.

So 18 year olds in the U.S. military can operate a 50 cal, javelin missiles, main gun on an Abraham's tank and a fully automatic M-16 but can't go buy a shotgun to go pheasant hunting?

Again, exceptions are already made for those in the military for hand guns, the same exceptions could apply here.
I started hunting when I was 13. It was never an issue that I couldn't purchase my own gun. My daughter and I shot targets all through her junior and senior years in high school, she wasn't allowed to buy her own ammo yet. We managed.

Yes.
