WildRose:
A background check only restricts those already excluded under federal law. Each of those restrictions include due process, felony convictions, a court ruling of mental incompetence, or current PO’s or Indictment. Each of those separate that individual from “The People” thus such restrictions do not infringe on “the right of the people”.
From the “Carry Age” discussion:
I’m largely a constitutional carry kind of guy but honestly I think research shows that 18 is simply too young.
The human mind is not fully developed until between 25-30 and if we simply look at age related statistics for crime and driving this certainly bears out.
21 to me is the lowest reasonable age for carry of a handgun as the consequences of even one poor decision or moment of lapsed judgement are staggeringly high and irreversible.
Age restrictions aren’t a part of Federal due process, thus removing or separating that individual from “The People.” How is an age restriction not gun control?
