18-20 year olds

I've been posting in the comments sections of various internet news stories about the latest school shooting debacle to the effect that these misguided kids are going to add a million new members to the NRA and sell a million AR-15's.

I just got an e-mail from my gun journalist buddy Dave Workman. The Second Amendment Foundation has experienced a 1200% increase in memberships from 18-20 year olds in the past three weeks, clearly owing to the fact that their gun rights are being specifically targeted.

I believe there's an old saying about poking a bear with a stick.

If they can serve and vote, let 'em buy firearms!

In 1970 when I was 20 years old I was in the Coast Guard stationed in Michigan. I tried to buy a beautiful S&W K 38 Masterpiece. I couldn't buy it because I was not 21. Thanks to the Gun Control Act of 1968. I have always regretted not getting that pistol. I legally owned several pistols already I had bought during high school. I just had to have my Dad come with me to the store so they knew it was OK. That was pre 68 Gun Control Act. The good old days.

And buy beer!
Always made me wonder, you can serve and die for your country, but can't buy a beer
