How old should you have to be to........

If gun control is a step towards despotism, I wonder where the fascist regimes of Canada and Britain have gone off to and left their countries to the unruly masses.

Except you can buy just about any gun in Canada that you can in the US. Haven't you seen Bowling for Columbine?

True, yet the Canadian system is ironically far closer to the Nazi system than the one I am suggesting.

Given the current US government I don't trust the state. In a country that elections the like of the bushes, Reagan and next year HRC I don't feel safe with any gun control.

The notion of Straha overthrowing the government is amusing but not worth considering when discussing gun control. Public militias worked in the 18th century; they don't work now. Even if democracy disappears, you're not going to succeed in defeating its successor; after all, they'd only do away with the trappings of democracy upon being completely certain that they could defeat rebels.

Ever thought that maybe you could cut your yuppie obsession with worrying about handguns? Pro-gun control yuppies(who favor other horrible policiestoo) like you make me wonder if we don't need hugo chavez style economic policies to loot all the money from the yuppie types and other idiot elite types.

In your opinion....what should be the legal age to.....

1. Get drafted - n/a no draft
2. Consume Alcoholic Beverages - 0*
3. Consume energy drinks (such as red bull) - 0
4. Smoke Tobacco - 0
5. Smoke Marijuana - 0
6. Own a firearm - 0
7. Purchase pornography - 18 I suppose
8. Have sex with a 23 year old - 16? Gets iffy
9. Get a drivers license - 14
10. Gamble - 0
11. Get a job - 14
12. Watch a rated R movie - 0

* For these government shouldn't regulate consumption. I don't advocate getting babies drunk but I don't believe it should be a law set by the state.
