should the US prohibit people under the age of 21 from purchasing or owning large capacity guns ?

Do you think raising the age to purchase a firearm will help reduce the number of mass shootings?

as the citizens and leaders debate the age limit shouldnt the country take immediate action and put armed security in our schools ? whether you are for or against age restrictions said law would take time and would probably be appealed in court ... so isnt the immediate action that would be prudent is to put armed security in schools ?

It's the best idea in the world but it's not a national decision, it's a local decision since schools are funded locally.
 
There was a bi-partisan effort to pass a school security bill in congress, but Dems killed it.

That bill was just a feel good bill and did nothing. It didn't address the Red Flags or the fact that school shooters are all under 21. From what I can see, the Repugs are still trying to avoid those two things.
 
You are a liar. The Senate worked on this bill with the parents of the Parkland shooting and it was bi-partisan. Now go wash your lying Dem filth mouth out with soap.

I read the bill and I also read the rebuttal. You can't read. And since you wish to insult instead of discussing you can join the other Gracy parties. Say goodnight Gracie
 
A California law banning young adults from purchasing semi-automatic weapons has been struck down by a federal appeals court as unconstitutional, a big win for Second Amendment advocates in the state and defeat for Governor Gavin Newsom.

In a 2-1 split ruling on Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in Jones v. Bonta, finding that the state’s law banning persons under 21 years of age from purchasing centerfire semi-automatic weapons was “a severe burden” on core Second Amendment rights. Per the ruling, persons in the state over the age of 18 will now be able to purchase semi-automatic rifles after obtaining a license. Individuals under the age-of-21 have long been barred from purchasing handguns in the state, and this ruling did not affect that law.

The suit had been brought by Matthew Jones, a resident of San Diego who was 20 at the time, and the Firearms Policy Coalition after the California State Legislature passed SB 1100 in 2018, in response to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla.

Writing for the majority, Judge Ryan D. Nelson stated that “young adults have Second Amendment protections as persons who are part of a national community.” The 100-page decision extensively examined the history of youth owning weapons, going back to the early days of English colonists in the United States, and extensively cited the Supreme Court’s landmark gun rights case District of Columbia v. Heller. It reversed the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, which had upheld the law on initial challenge.

Judge Kenneth K. Lee joined in the decision but wrote a concurrence explaining how the logic behind California’s decision could be used to erode other constitutional rights. Both judges were Trump appointees, with Senior Judge Sidney Stein – a Clinton appointee district judge from the Southern District of New York, sitting by designation on the 9th Circuit – dissenting.
