        They LOWERED the age of gun ownership in Florida to 18, and they’re shooting each other all over the place. Their aim isn’t too good, either. They keep hitting innocent bystanders, but hey, that’s the price you pay for the second amendment, right? Getting accidentally shot by some hood rat with a legal gun because DeSatan wants everyone to believe he’s packing more than 3 inches in his pants.

          Gun ownership age has been 18 since there was a gun ownership age.

          21 only applies to handguns and certain specific other weapons like NFA items and unlassified “firearms” (guns that aren’t classified as pistols, rifles or shotguns - mostly firearm receivers or a few weird stockless “shotguns” that don’t actually fit the shotgun definition).

            He lowered the age for handguns to 18, after convicted criminal Rick Scott and the Florida Republican Legislature raised it to 21 after the Parkland Massacre (something Scott doesn’t like to talk about).

          actually, sadly here in toronto, youth gun crimes have been rising due to the flow of guns coming from the USA.

          Only Republicans are fine with that. The majority of us are just as appalled
