He said he was "open to discussions," but in the end, he still has to vote and it's his final vote that really determines where he stands. He said he is in favor of raising purchase age to 21 (Trump is in agreement with that). He said he favors improving NCIS (Trump also in support of this). He said he thinks states need to be required to share more info with feds (for NCIS to work, that sort of has to happen). He said that we need to have uncomfortable discussions about the type of information that is shared (ie - loosening HIPPA laws so that docs and other med practitioners are able to share mental health and other information with NCIS). He said he is open to "discussions" about magazine capacity, but we'll see if he's that serious on that. He tried to hold ground against AWB and tried to articulate the fact that there's no difference between what people think of as "assault weapons" and other semi-automatic rifles. That didn't go over well, of course, because the mob was seemingly on board with getting rid of all semi-autos including hunting rifles and handguns. He tried to back the dem Representative (Deutsch?) and Sen Bill Nelson into a corner on whether they were advocating getting rid of all semi-auto including hunting rifles and handguns. I don't think that he did all that bad really given the hostile environment. Again, what will matter is how he votes and how he leads on the issues.

If they want to move it to 21, then move the voting age to 21, move the selective service registration age to 21, etc. If we're going to define people as children until that age, then be consistent.

INOR wrote:My last post was in response to Ghost. To be clear, I don't advocate moving the age to 21. I think it's ridiculous. What I'm saying is that if they do such a ridiculous thing, then they need to be consistent and use that age for determining "adulthood" for everything.

Exactly, so last night there was an arena full of people, many of whom where 18 or close to being 18 cheering for basically this.

So basically, they are saying they are not ready to be adults, fine, if you want to self select that you are not ready and your parents want to continue to support you, that is your business, but I know many who are ready, many have gone on to put their lives on the line for us. I don't know about you but I am not going to go up to them and tell them to their face that they have not earned adulthood.

On, Trump, just because he is 1 million times better than Hillary, does not mean I agree with everything he says. Now, is the media out to get him at every possible moment and do I see that and feel that is wrong? Sure, but I do not agree with every policy he has.

Some of these same people have been arguing for reducing the voting age to 16. I am so confused.

I was wondering this morning how many pro-control individuals would agree to a "weapon of war/ar-15 for civilians ban" that would sunset once the military moved to lasers and rails guns, as the AR-15 would no longer be a "weapon of war". It seems they are plenty comfortable with previous weapons of war, such as lever guns, bolt guns, pump actions, falling blocks-other forms of singleshots..you get my point....Starting to think Lasers are a common sense solution we can all get behind.

They would not, did you hear them last night? They want to START with AR-15s, their full agenda is the banning of all firearms period.
