In response to your first point: Not what I said at all. At the end, I told people to mind their own business. As an MP, if someone posed a threat, that kind of insinuates a legitimate threat. Someone minding their own business even with a .50 is not a threat. Dictionary: Threat: a statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury, damage, or other hostile action on someone in retribution for something done or not done. If guns were a threat, civilian police would have shot everyone with a gun, just like in a communist country and people with no reasoning skills.

We had someone in Afghanistan who had a negligent discharge. It was a soldier and he blew off his foot. Age and occupation means very little. Dakota Overland is a 17-year old competitive shooter that is more competent with guns probably 85% of the people you deployed with. So, 17-year old's cannot be good? It's all about the parents, abilities, passion, and opportunity. In other countries, kids younger than 17 are in the military and have never had any issues. I host guns shoots once a month, mostly adults come, and most are pretty dangerous and if they were attacked by felons, they probably would not have been able to drop them and get out of the hostile environment safely. I don't think most people I seen in Afghanistan could have done that. Military or age doesn't give me any more confidence in gun safety.

That felon you did not say anything about (I guess he's good in your book) was an adult. According to your words, since he was over 17 he had a purpose to be there and to illegally carry an illegal firearm. Your only points were about me and a 17-year who was attacked. Makes sense.

Again, I never said he should have been there, if you can recall (evidently you did not recall), I said he should not have been there, but in America where freedom kind of means something (unless you're communist), you can't regulate freedom. Although America does, it's not Constitutional. Don't like the Constitution you swore to protect? Why did you?

You really sided with a felon who tried to kill a kid?
