When I hear of the same things in places like Chicago or Philly or higher crime areas, the demographics indicate the likelihood of young black men being involved. Sadly black on black crime is most prevalent & under-reporter. My question is to what level does that behavior become acceptable and embraced as normal in any neighborhood or area. It's a fucking shame that gun violence is such a huge problem. I actually think changing the age for gun ownership/ or use to be 18 on shotguns, 21 on long rifles and 25 on pistols. Pistols kill way more ppl in the hands of nefarious characters...how the hell do these people get out of jail with multiple gun violations and go on to get even more? Do a crime with a gun, mandatory 10 yrs in jail.

First the under 21 restrictions are already ruled unconstitutional in multiple courts, and that was before the SCOTUS New York ruling.
The laws just passed by the Congress are going to be ruled invalid, probably immediately, you cannot limit civil rights due to age.
The federal law about selling a handgun under 21 is also going to fall, and its being challenged as well.
The AP called the SCOTUS ruling the "4 thousand pound wrecking ball" is going to destroy all the recent gun control regs, and many others, possibly even the 1934 NFA act, making certain firearms taxable, but not illegal, again, you can't tax someone for wanting to defend themselves how they wish too.
Further, to solve the problem, its not just pass a law, and then stating its all fixed, bullshit, do something that matters, not pass another law that's going to go unenforced by woke prosecutors.
Wendy Bell right again.
