POLL: Should 18-Year-Olds Be Able to Purchase Rifles?
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by Breitbart:
The White House on Thursday endorsed the idea of raising the legal age for Americans to purchase rifles to 21, citing President Joe Biden’s own remarks.
A CBS reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during the daily briefing if Biden would support raising the age required to legally purchase a gun.
“The president was very clear about this just recently when he said in his remarks just on Tuesday that it doesn’t make sense for an 18-year-old to legally buy an assault weapon,” Jean-Pierre replied.
This comes after the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas this week, in which Salvador Ramos went and purchased two guns just days after his 18th birthday, then walked into an elementary school and killed two teachers and 19 young children in a horrific massacre that has rocked the nation.
“Would the president support raising the age at which someone can buy a gun to 21?” @nancycordes asks WH Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is also pushing to raise the legal age to buy a long gun, saying in a CNN interview, “An 18-year-old can go out on their birthday and buy an assault weapon that should be used on battlefields and they can’t even buy a beer at the corner bar.”

Retired US Navy Admiral Admiral James Stavridis also said, “It sickens me to see these weapons of war available to any 18-year-old. In the US you can’t legally buy a beer until you’re 21 years old… and yet we allow 18 year olds to go out and purchase long guns.”
