Too Old to Buy a Gun?

[FrankZ]

Yes, should be the same max age as voting.

Of course there are those that think we should lower the voting age and have a max age.

I know I have not reached it yet.

If you can vote when you die you should be able to buy a gun

Wow there are stupid questions.

You should be banned for starting this thread

Absolutely.

Nobody over 200 should have a gun.

I disagree. No one over 300 should have a gun, but only if they haven't blacked out by then.

I hate to drag my son into becoming a straw purchaser, but...

 

[ezracer]

This is easy.


Oh I forgot. Out of my cold dead hands!!!!!!

When your dead. You should not buy a gun after you die. You shouldn't be able to vote either.

The right was endowed by the creator so only the creator should be able to restrict it.

To the OP at what age do you think people become incapable of purchasing a firearm and why?

Since most gun crimes are committed by persons between the ages of 25 and 50 it makes more sense to ban that age group from buying guns but let those younger or older buy as many as they want.

I just posted a link to the article. Perhaps that was a bad choice for a title but did you notice the question mark at the end?

Just like all facts that don’t matter, more people are killed by drivers that have become incompetent everyday than elderly firearms purchasers

Just asking your opinion.

With age comes wisdom. Except in certain politicians cases. Therefor, the question becomes moot. One is never too old to buy a gun. Since considering ones physical powers in most cases have diminished. The need to protect family and self require more weaponry to assist in defeating problems, created by leftist agendas.

When there is a maximum age for freedom of speech, for freedom of religion and freedom to peaceably assemble, then we can talk.

This, over and over.

 

[lazarus]

Absolutely.

Screw you. I am going to be buried with some of mine if I have my way.

In seriousness, I don't think there should be a maximum age. I DO think there needs to be a point where a person may not be of sufficient sound mind to own or have access to a gun. Looking back, I wouldn't want my grandmothers in assisted living for dementia having access to a firearm as an example. But that isn't strictly an age thing. It is a question of is a person of sound mind? I don't want a 23 year crazy person having access to a gun either if they are in and out of mental health facilities.

If a person is basically at a mental place they need to be someone's ward (of the state, of their spouse, of their family, whatever), then I don't think they should have access to firearms. Or driving for that matter. Or their own finances. Etc.
