[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what would have made this less likely to happen? Age limits on guns. This is out of control. Teenagers should not be allowed to buy these weapons. [/quote]

18 year olds who serve this country have guns placed in their hands. Minimum age to be a police officer is 18-21, depending on the state.  [/quote]

Those 18 year olds have extensive training drilled into them.

If you don't agree with age limits, do you think we should require 6 months of training before purchasing a gun? For everyone?[/quote]

Not only that! They have to undergo background checks to get into service in e first place.  I’m fine using that standard! If an 18 year old wants a gun he should be able to get security clearance first :)[/quote]

This 18 year old had a background check. Sadly, he passed. [/quote]

What does the background check entail?

NP here. I want a background check like the kind conducted for high security clearances in the government, not just “are they a felon”. I’m not a fed so not super familiar with them but I know they’re involved. Mandatory reference checks. It should take a few weeks. [/quote]

So let's say a woman decides to leave her abusive husband and wants a firearm in her home. Because of his abuse, she has been kept away from others. Where does she get her reference checks? His friends and family? A few weeks can get an abused woman killed - the most dangerous time for abused women is just after they leave.[/quote]

We actually don't want women to buy guns to kill their exes either.[/quote]

That's not really the scenario, is it. She should probably just stay. So much safer.[/quote]
