    Report: Trump Open to Raising ‘Minimum Age for Owning Certain Firearms’

    http://www.breitbart.com/big-governm...tain-firearms/

    by AWR Hawkins21 Feb 2018

    A “White House source” informed Fox News that President Trump is open to raising the “minimum age for owning certain firearms.”

    The federal minimum age for purchasing a handgun is 21-years old while the minimum age for purchasing a long gun is 18. The ability to buy long guns at age 18 came under scrutiny after 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz carried an AR-15 into a gun-free zone in Florida and opened fire on students, killing 17.

    Fox News reports that Trump is “open to…a rise in the minimum age for owning certain firearms” in the wake of the Florida attack.

    This news emerged on the same day that Trump directed the DOJ to finalize plans to ban bump stocks amid the current gun control outcry. It also came on the day that NRP’s Mara Liasson asked White House Press Sarah Sanders if Trump would be willing to reinstate the 1994-2004 federal “assault weapons” ban. Sanders replied, “We haven’t close doors on any front.”

    The Washington Post reports that the idea of raising minimum age for gun purchases came up while Trump was having dinner with Geraldo Rivera.

    Riveria suggested “raising the minimum age at which a person could buy a semiautomatic weapon from 18 to 21.”

    The AP reports the White House confirmed “the idea of raising the age limit to buy an AR-15 was on the table for discussion.”

    Why does all of this seem like the script of some elaborate show?

  4. #3
    so I guess they will be raising the minimum age to join the military at the same time?

    Funny, this $#@! is a lot like what those of us who criticised Trump during the primaries and campaign predicted.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Now you hope that enough people have seen the vile corruption that was exposed with this whole FBI & DOJ scandals. On principle, I'd say you need to own 4 or 5 AR-15s just for our devious intelligence agencies.

    It could be much worse. We could have either Rubio or Bush, though they likely would have been mauled by Hillary. It's bad enough that Pence is in the #2 chair.

    I don't regret anything about the last election cycle. Sometimes you have to break the glass. Trump served a purpose.

    He did serve a purpose. He convinced a nation of idiots who were fed up to here with the status quo to prolong the status quo.

    Congratu-$#@!ing-lations on that wonderful victory.

    It's like saying the antichrist serves a $#@!ing purpose. Jesus H. Christ on a bike.

    You act like Rand Paul couldn't have kicked Hillary Clinton's frumpy ass all the way back to Arkansas. He would have won such a landslide in the general, the ground would have shaken in China. Instead we get to listen to SJWs whining about the electoral college, because your clown barely pulled it out. To hell with that noise.

    Status Quo? The FBI has been shown to be a sham organization of enormous political corruption & graft. The MSM has been totally discredited. The collateral damage of a Trump presidency may have been the greatest boost this movement has gotten in years. All of our alleged fictional enemies have finally emerged from the shadows into the light for the world to see. Trump may be an average to poor president, but the residual tremors of his election shall be felt for decades.

    And you're seriously arguing that if we hadn't gotten Rand Paul nominated, that Clinton wouldn't have done even more ratfucking, and Rand Paul would suddenly not have the balls to actually do something about it?

    Please, try to make that argument, traitor. I dare you.

    I doubt Rand Paul would have launched a massive counter campaign against the MSM like Trump did. It's not his style and never was. Remember that Rand backed down when the MSM handcuffed him with the false narrative of being dismissive of that female anchor. Trump would have doubled down and that's exactly why he won.

    Rand Paul would have discredited the MSM daily. By not being a clown, he'd have forced them to make $#@! up. By not giving them rope to hang him with, he'd have forced them to ignore him--the GOP nominee for president--or obviously lie about him. He'd have discredited the MSM with everyone by now, not just his fanbois. Even the most rabid SJW wouldn't have a leg to stand on when someone criticized the media.

    He wouldn't be a lightning rod for dividing the public against each other. He would be uniting the public against the media right now.

    But no. We had to have a clown, because mainstream Republicans prefer to spend the primaries voting for $#@!ing idiots--or clowns pretending to be $#@!ing idiots. $#@!ing idiots.

    Rand Paul would have been ineffective at discrediting the media, is it? Is that the funniest joke you can come up with? The man pwns reporters every time someone points a camera at him.

    The only thing worse than people who are just plain wrong is people who are just plain wrong and can't admit it. No matter how big a steaming, stinking pile of evidence is piled before their noses.

    You need a shameless showman to beat the 'show business' that defines the corporate news. Rand is highly informed, but he doesn't possess the narcissistic core to punch through the insidious MSM narrative. A professional $#@! slinger was our only hope against a psychological operations team that would have made Goebbels blush.

    Even in retrospect, Trump was the right man for the job from the start. He knew the emperor had no clothes and reminded the public of this fact at every appearance.

    You do not need a clown to play chess. You need a chess player. Just because this board is full of idiots who abandoned Rand Paul because the fakenews convinced them they hate Trump, and have been saying ever since that Trump is redefining the way chess is played, does not mean Rand Paul can't play chess for real. Nor does it mean the Trumptards didn't get played.

    You have no regrets. Whoop de do. I'm glad the entertainment is on a level you can comprehend. By all means, deprive us of watching House and make us watch Leave it to Beaver just so the jokes won't be too adult for you. But don't even pretend for a second that Trump is doing one single thing for the good of this nation, much less that he is doing something for the good of this nation that Rand Paul couldn't have done. The whole premise is too stupid to even rip to shreds.

    I think you were played. And yes, I think you were willfully played.

    I also think you, like a great portion of Americans, and a bigger percentage of Republicans, are a masochist. Which explains why you have no regrets about screwing yourself with Trump. And why you insist on inviting more and more and ever more well-deserved abuse to be heaped on your head right here.

    I think Trump is planning to talk a lot and panic people into buying the gun industry's overstock and then do nothing.

    Just to be clear: I condemn that action as much as I do gun control.
