If I am not mistaken, our governor signed a state law that indicated an age limit for purchasing rifles in Florida. Supposedly, no one under age 21 may purchase a firearm in Florida. I do not think that will save any children from a mass murder in public schools, but I also agree with you that anyone that can fight FOR this country should be able to purchase a hunting rifle when they come home. As long as our youth can still participate in firearms safety classes and sport competition as well as hunting, I have no problem with age limits for the purchases of firearms. As long as a father or mother can still purchase a firearm for their children (under supervision) to participate in such activities, I am fine with some form of guidance/supervision for our youth to become familiar with firearms.

I can agree with your statement.
So, that makes two of us, I bet there are others. If we all talk instead of just repeating dog whistles and insults I firmly believe we can reach a compromise that will help.
And the reason is, I think that you said what you think, and then explained why. That is called discussion (for the others reading along) as opposed to just spewing out that anyone that thinks different than you is stupid. Maybe they are maybe they aren't but it isn't going to lead to anything other than heated arguments. Thank you for taking the time and responding to my post with intelligent discussion.
