Whose taking weapons? That’s called a reasonable restriction. Their mommy can still buy them their favorite assault weapon for Christmas unless they make that illegal too.

This idea has been kicked around for awhile, right? I know raising the age to 21 has been in the press since Florida.

Did you read HB1465?
From the bill

8 weapon attachments, .50 caliber rifles, and .50 caliber
9 cartridges to persons under 21 years of age prohibited;
10 possession of assault weapons, assault weapon attachments, .50

Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this
12 Section, 90 days after the effective date of this amendatory
13 Act of the 100th General Assembly, it is unlawful for any
14 person under 21 years of age within this State to knowingly

16 caliber rifle, or .50 caliber cartridge.
The way I read the above says that if you are under the age of 21 the possession of the highlighted is prohibited.
How say you now

It's still not a ban. You just can't have one till you're 21. People under 21 who have one can simply transfer ownership to someone over 21 (like their dad or older brother/sister) until they're of age.
Now, of course the inevitable court challenge may well result in the "possession" part being ruled unconstitutional, but the sale part is in no way a 2nd Amendment violation.

No. Just that history repeats itself.
Well good for them, they dotted their i’s, I’ve been a fan if Illinois policies for some time now, this is no different.

It should be adjusted where under 21 may handle and discharge firearms as long as they are accompanied by a person 21 or older.
I would be okay with this as a compromise. The key to me is purchasing and ownership.
Excellent law. Long overdue.

Gun violence is a strange way to promote peace. Safety is a constituent to peace. Its a miracle really.

Well there's always paintball and airsoft in the interim.
It's pretty base to use a Hitler argument here. However, some attempt to be accurate would be appreciated, if you do decide to tread this hyperbolic path.

I would still say that it’s a reasonable restriction and didn’t amount to “taking guns”. Even the military doesn’t just issue personal weapons to people, it is highly safe guarded. These days it is kept in an armory and you can’t buy them at discharge anymore. I know I know, stupid rules lol.
Man I am mad. I just started selling my new NRA president target and now no one will have guns to shoot at it.

The way I'm reading it, unless your at an age when your more likely to be fully and completely developed--with the brain taking the longest--you don't get such high powered weaponry.
