STOP EMASCULATING boys by telling them they are "toxic", "oppressors", and maybe they are really girls.
Underrated factor here, I think. We're starting to see what happens when a full generation of boys grows up hearing this bullshite, communist drivel.

People don't like black things

I prefer a gun that looks like an umbrella.

"Kids" can't access these weapons legally already. You are again being driven by emotion and not thinking logically. It is no surprise you vote democrat.

Agreed...we should stop allowing designers create things that look aggressive. Take sports cars for instance. Way too aggressive! that's why young guys want to drive them all crazy and have the highest accident rates.
All cars should be very sensibly designed so that no one will misbehave with them.

Ugh...
If we filled in every backyard pool in America we'd reduce backyard drowning incidents by 100%. Approximately 4,500 people die each year in drowning accidents in pools and spas. If we cared about those people. we'd get rid of pools.
If we lowered the speed limit to 20 miles an hour, we'd reduce car accident death to close to zero. We lose between 35,000 and 45,000 annually in car accidents, plus untold numbers of horrific life changing accidents a well. If we cared about those people, we'd do that as well.
There are an nearly an infinite number of things we could do to NERF the world, and yet we do very little of them because to do so would create a world that the vast majority do not want to live in.

aggressive styling of these rifles
You ever read a story about an AR-15 sneaking our of a gun safe and going on a killing spree by itself?
These rifles are no more aggressive than a sling shot.
Putting an age restriction is a slippery slope. If you can legally discriminate based on age, like you're suggesting, then what is to stop the government from saying that at a specific age you are too old to safely own this gun? Also, if they can start legally discriminating by age, then why not gender, race, or religion? Since it's pretty much always men that kill with an AR, should the government ban men from owning one?
And don't tell us this is far fetched because I'm being told to believe that men can have babies and high food and gas prices are good for me.

age restriction
Democrats can't decide what's an adult.
Being drafted? Fine with 18.
Alcohol? 21.
Talking to teachers about your gender and requesting gender reassignment surgery? No age too low it seems.
Abortion without parents' consent? Below 18.
Scary guns? 21.
There should be NO conversation about raising the age limit and every time it comes up the GOP should deflect that conversation into forcing them to pick a date to when people become old enough to make rational life altering decisions and make them stand on that number.

An 18 year old can still absolutely be a kid. And you haven’t the slightest clue how I vote

Theory doesn’t hold water when so many have been done with ordinary old pistols, again it’s not the gun baw.

Ask Harry Callihan and his great big .44 ...

You’re missing the point. A .22 to go squirrel hunting or shotgun for duck hunting doesn’t have that aggressive look that to a mentally unstable kid makes them so appealing when they want to go kill a bunch of kids at school.
Easily the dumbest shite I have ever read in my life.
You wanted to shoot up your high school didn't you? Junior High? That's the one and only reason someone would say something so stupid.
Be honest. What stopped you from doing it?

I get that the AR-15 etc is like any other semi-automatic rifles other than the overall look of it, but it’s that look that I think plays a role in making it desirable by the kids who want to play real life Call of Duty and feel macho etc and end up shooting up schools.
When I was a kid we all had BB guns and shot each other playing cowboys and Indians.
We didn't then go to school and shoot our classmates and teachers.
Heck when I was in school we had a rifle team.
