Nice. Rick Scott may veto even that.

I think it is a good idea that those under the age of 18 should have some sort of parent undersign their purchase and maybe even parental supervision, but tell me, if no one under 21 can legally buy a gun, how will kids 17.5 years of age enlist into the Army where they will have guns up to the teeth?
Apparently, you have never been in the military. If the military requires you to carry a gun as part of your duties, you will be trained in the proper use and cleaning of the weapon in question, as well as will have it ISSUED TO YOU. No purchase required.
And, you can enlist in the Delayed Entry Program at age 17, but you cannot ship off to boot camp until AFTER your 18th birthday.
I guess you don't read or comprehend too well. Please try harder. HOW OR WHERE did I ever say otherwise or that a kid had to buy his own gun for in the service? And the age to sign up with parental consent is 17.5 years regardless of whenever you enter.
Wrong. You can enlist up to a year in advance in the Delayed Entry Program, and, you can join when you are only 17. How do I know this? Worked at the Military Entrance Processing Station at Amarillo TX from 1999 to 2002 as Leading Petty Officer and Head Classifier.
As far as where did you say kids had to buy their own gun? You kinda implied it when you said this....................
but tell me, if no one under 21 can legally buy a gun, how will kids 17.5 years of age enlist into the Army where they will have guns up to the teeth?
You kinda implied they had to buy their own guns when you asked how a kid would be able to enlist in the military. And, because you implied it in that manner, I simply was telling you that if the military wants you to carry a weapon, they will train the shit out of you so you can do so, and then issue it to you.
