I guess that would go hand in hand with not being
able to join the military until age twenty-five as well.
As it is, our military under the age of twenty-one can't
drink! (unless on base)

Public service for every kid in high school 9-12 during the summer, then upon graduation 1st year of continuing education paid for, technical ed, not BS. Need to instill work ethics and moral responsibility. Too many pussies out there.
Just another cave in to the left. I happen to think it's ridiculous. Should be more about background checks and accountability.
Would that stop those under the age of 25 from getting or having access to a firearm? I seriously doubt it.
I was in NRA competition target shooting in the 5th grade. The math teacher was big on NRA and the program he sponsored was for boys 5-12th grades. Was also hunting unsupervised by my father who taught me the proper use and safety of firearms at the ripe old age of 10. Gave me a Winchester Model 94 30-30 for Christmas that same year. Shot my first deer that same Christmas day.
Guns are NOT the problem! It is the decline in parenting and the use of corporal punishment for breaking the rules both at home and in the schools. Or the use of powerful psychotic drugs in the absence of rules and their enforcement. And believe me, I had my ass busted plenty for mischief and fighting, especially at school as my dad was pretty lenient on stuff that went on at school. Thought that was between me and the school. And believe me, he knew everything as he was president of the school board for many years.
Point being, I never even thought of doing something as insane as the drugged up mental r****ds like Cruz.

That should already be instilled by 12th grade. The small school I attended in the 60s taught trades of carpentry, electricity, welding, and plumbing in shop class starting in the 9th grade. Most of it was learned, especially by those that were not or could not attend college, by hands on doing repair work and additions, like a bathroom for the lunchroom ladies. The 4 room grade school was built in the early 20s and the high school was built by the WPA during the depression. So there was always something needed.

Agreed, I was being cynical. We all know libs want children to have the right to v**e at the age of 16, after the appropriate progressive indoctrination by libs in our school systems, while restricting the right to own a firearm at a much higher age. Stupid? U Betcha!
How about the drinking age, criminal culpability, age to join the service, buy guns v**e or hold any job or office being the same?

You have finally made some sense kevy!
Would 21 be reasonable? Drinking age? Get 'em drunk on their birthday and take 'em to the gun shop!

That's a good place to start.
Then we need to harden schools. Remember the busload of kids kidnapped in the 70s? We should have begun paying attention then but I guess folks just didn't believe it would become par for the crazy course.
Then we need to do something about mental health. There's nowhere for the mentally ill to go for treatment anymore.
Then we need to ask ourselves, "what's the
cumulative effect of all the psych drugs we've been prescribing for the last few decades?"
We can only fit so many where Kevy goes. His mom's basement.

First there should not be sales of booze it should be prohibited.Joining the service should 17 with a draft at 18.that would get some of the wild ones off the street until they learn some self discipline,something they obviously don't get at home.V****g age was lowered by demorats just to get v**es from the mostly ignorant people.Guns , I was raised
with a gun in my hands from the time I was 10 and k**led my first dear at 12.But I never even pointed a gun at anyone
in my life because I was raised in gun safety.
We are living with the results of progressive-ism of the 60s though the 2000s and it is going to get worse if we don't
put a stop to it.

Now, now JF...Kev is behaving himself.
I think some on the left are beginning to realize Trump is a guy who is
driven to get s**t done...not just talk and posture and lie for decades without fixing things. This is an opportunity.
Politicians are disinclined to really fix things...oh fixated lefties. You guys can think, right?
Think it's too late for them?
