Did you completely misunderstand what I posted? The section of my post you quoted is talking about how we would have fewer murdered children if we raise the age to purchase these weapons, thus fewer parents would be mourning their murdered children.

You think THAT is an NRA talking point? Lord have mercy.

You’re the one who wrote that raising the age to purchase weapons would be ineffective because parents won’t care whether their children are murdered by an 18 year old or a 21 year old. That ignores the fact that fewer children would be murdered in the first place. That sounds like an NRA talking point.
