Nobody ever had to defend themselves using alcohol.
What's the point you're trying to make?
Point is it's a bad comparison. Having a gun is a constitutional right, and taking that right away leaving people defenseless is much different than anything else like tobacco or alcohol. The main reason we fight so hard to keep gun rights is self-defense. In spite of my avatar, I'm more a big proponent of self-defense than firearms.
Having a gun can be regulated. I support lifting the age to 21 for owning a rifle.
Okay, so if we are now able to put age requirements on Constitutional rights, what would you say if Republicans increased the voting age to 21 too? After all, voting is a huge responsibility just like owning a rifle.
Abortions.......can't have one till you are 21....as left wing nutjobs love to do...let's quote Scalia....from Heller
Let's substitute Abortion....
Like most rights, the Abortion right is not unlimited. It is not a right to kill any baby whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose:
Like I told all Democrats on USMB. I'm willing to support an age increase in firearms if they will support my interest in raising the voting age. Nobody on the left wishes to discuss that. After all, if we can place age limitations on Constitutional rights, let's make it for all rights. In fact, I hope Trump's people come up with that plan. Have Congress increase the age of firearm ownership and voting. See how they squeal like pigs about that one.
