Here's a thought...a young man of the age of 24 can not walk into an Enterprise Rental Car agency and rent a car. He would be turned away. Must be at least 25 to rent a car. However, a 21 year old can go buy an AK-47 and not be turned away. What is wrong with that? I know there's a background check to get any gun but what about an age requirement for certain types of guns or weapons? To me if a person gets an AK-47 that's not a person that's scared for their safety and wants the ability to protect themselves. That's the type of person with maybe some other ideas floating around in their head. Disturbing ideas! Maybe even a special gun safety class or simple on paper psych test needs to be completed along with the background check to purchase military style weapons. I'm just saying 20 people might be alive right now here in Texas if that 21 year old that shot them with his AK-47 hadn't been able to purchase it in the first place because he did not meet the age requirement.
I'm not saying people shouldn't have a right to guns. Because in this day and age by all means, you deserve to be able to protect yourself. We have guns in our house. Brad even has a license to carry. Our reason for the guns in our house and in our cars is simply for protection. That's it. For some reason though when a person is interested in an AK-47 it tells me that individual is likely interested in something more than personal protection. I'm just saying! So perhaps an age requirement and maybe an additional parameter should be met.
May all those grieving in Texas be comforted! Unbelievably sad!
