Cornyn breaks with Trump: Raising age limit on gun buying wont save lives

Limits on alcohol have never prevented underage kids from getting their hands on it.

Don't know if they are promoting just the purchase or the possession as well. That would make a difference. Regardless, the NRA will oppose it in any form.

If we're going to have a knock-down drag-out with the NRA we night as well make it worthwhile.
