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

Riveria suggested “raising the minimum age at which a person could buy a semiautomatic weapon from 18 to 21.” Well that would be a start, they couldn't get weapons while in school, but how about extending that to all firearms and other lethal devices like cross bows and compound bows. really the time for removing military grade weapons from the general population has come, it came long ago

really the time for removing military grade weapons from the police. I don't know why the people in this country put up with the waste of their tax dollars to kill other people in foreign countries. What goes around comes around. The killings will continue until the culture changes. Sleep with dogs and get up with fleas.
That is what Hitler said to the Jews. What Stalin said to the christians. We need those weapons to kill would be dictators who think like the wusses in Australia.
You do realize that more people die from the pistol than "Assault" weapons? I even believe that more people are killed with knives and bats than "Assault" weapons. This is all about propaganda of the socialist who want to push their agenda using tragedies which is disgusting and if we had a real media they would be hammered for their BS.
