Here's where the gun debate should go!

[peggy]

At the age of 20, you can get married, sign a contract, purchase a truck, drive on the public roads, join the military, have children, consent to surgery, and quite a few other things.

By Federal law, however, you cannot purchase a handgun until you are 21. And most states require you to be 21 to carry a concealed weapon. Some states have lower, I think a few have (or had) higher age limits.

So the "20 year old" argument is reflective of a lack of knowledge of the reality here in the United States, and is a red herring.

Were we only talking about handguns? I don't think so. Gregg was talking about shotguns and Mrs. M was talking about all guns. Guns, covers all guns. Talk about a red herring!
