What is the minimum age now? napi21 Aug 2014 #1
It was set at 5 years of age when the Firearms Owners Protection Act was passed in 1986. aikoaiko Aug 2014 #2
Pre-schoolers should not be handling death machines. Wow. tridim Aug 2014 #4
5 years is kindergarten I think, not preschool. aikoaiko Aug 2014 #6
Plenty of 5 year olds in preschool. Crunchy Frog Aug 2014 #9
I guess some kids are in preschool at 5. Still its a fine minimum. aikoaiko Aug 2014 #12
Whether a 5 year old is in kindergarden or pre-school is completely irrelevant. blue neen Aug 2014 #30
I'll help you out. The OP and my responses are satire. aikoaiko Aug 2014 #33
I got that the OP was satire. blue neen Aug 2014 #35
Plenty of people in the NRA and GOA that have the mental ability of a 5 year old, also. nt madinmaryland Aug 2014 #10
Fortunately Jason Carter has a much higher mental age for a NRA Democrat. aikoaiko Aug 2014 #14
NRA Democrat? Now there is an oxymoron I have not heard in a while. Nt madinmaryland Aug 2014 #19
Life is full of interesting contradictions or juxtapositions. aikoaiko Aug 2014 #22
No, actually it is not. There is no such thing as an NRA Democrat... madinmaryland Aug 2014 #23
That is factually untrue. aikoaiko Aug 2014 #25
Unfortunately you are incorrect... madinmaryland Aug 2014 #26
It would be nice if firearms were free, but the people who make and sell them do like to get paid. aikoaiko Aug 2014 #28
A link to the NRA's lobbying arm? Is that allowed here? madinmaryland Aug 2014 #29
Yes, because it is a press release about supporting a Democrat. aikoaiko Aug 2014 #34
Well, yes there are reasons... madinmaryland Aug 2014 #38
Freaky fascist NRA and their distorted views on firearms is rotting American society. Fred Sanders Aug 2014 #3
It makes sense when one looks at gun ownership as a spiritual endeavor or a religion, Maedhros Aug 2014 #5
The fetish of the gun, it is a cult, less a religion, but same delusions and worship of idols. Fred Sanders Aug 2014 #13
Hijacking the thread for just a second... jmowreader Aug 2014 #16
Some will take it as merely a suggestion. Fred Sanders Aug 2014 #39

For Gun Porn, that thing is still ugly. nt Eleanors38 Aug 2014 #8
Well, I can see why the NRA is pissed. It would preclude most, if not all of their members from madinmaryland Aug 2014 #11
More like Disneyland in the future. moondust Aug 2014 #15
