The "sensitivity" of some of these senators is heartwarming. Why not lower the legal age for alcohol drinking from 21 to 18? Aren't these senators worried about "hurting the young adults" who enjoy DRINKING? I got a hunch that these young adults enjoy DRINKING a heck of a lot more than they do "hunting, or target shooting".

I wouldn't be so sure.
Many a kid grew up in my neck of the States that wanted to shoot a gun well before taking a drink. Deer. Elk. Buffalo. Pheasant. Quail. Dove.
We may be flyover country, but it is a way of life you coastals have no clue about living.

Yes...let's let our "young adults" buy AR-15s before they can buy a beer. BOY...that's "living".

Welcome to Dem central.
Take quotes completely out of context and then flabbergast about them and even inject your own personal crapdom.
Congrats. Solid work Thask.

What quote am I taking out of context? Is it a lie that young people can buy an AR-15 before they can buy a beer in this country? That may be alright for you, friend...but it ain't alright for me. And if you don't approve of my opinion on this...I assure you that it won't trouble me much.

Fair enough.
Just don't belittle my culture as being below yours and your eyeroll BS. Nobody should ever do that. While we live in the same country, we lead very different lives with very different beliefs. And that is what makes this country great.
I'll never take anything away from you and your culture as long as you don't take anything away from me and my culture.
Sound fair?

You have the right to say whatever you want...and so do I. But you called me "Dem Central"...even though I never categorized you in any way.
