After all the pissing, and moaning over the institution of marriage, and secret society grooming.

This is why America is fucked

This shit is so fucked up. Your religious freedoms don't mean you can victimize people.

Or rather, the repealing of the 26th amendment. Which is still just as difficult as adding a new one. 2/3rds of Congress (each chamber), or 2/3rds of state legislatures. It's not going to happen.

Who's groomin' who again?

Republicans: unironically endorsing child marriages if it will net them votes.

"Remember, it's not pedophilia if the parents are OK with it!" - Republicans, probably

Missouri politicians crawling over each other for NRA points.

this is exactly what I'm talking about. there's no reason a police officer can't confiscate an illegally obtained weapon upon discovery. A kid with a 9mm in his pocket or carrying a long gun in a completely inappropriate setting, who is detained by police, already is losing that gun. This new law would do nothing to empower that capability and only serves to harm individuals who may have been doing nothing but trying to look after themselves.

No i need someone to explain to me the actual backing for this bill that only labels children as criminals. Like, the guns are there. People already own them, this law changes nothing about that. All this law would do, again, is label children as criminals. Why is this necessary. There's no way for children to legally obtain weapons without an adult. There's no reason why a police officer can't already confiscate an illegally obtained weapon. So please, explain, what would this law actually accomplish?

Just what you’d expect from Groomy Ol’ Pedophiles.

The whole thing is confusing. This quote:

>A Democrat, Donna Baringer, said police in her district asked for the change to stop “14-year-olds walking down the middle of the street in the city of St Louis carrying AR-15s”.

seems to imply that St. Louis is a lawless wasteland where juvenile warlords brazenly and openly carry semiautomatic rifles in broad daylight so often that police are begging lawmakers to do something about it.

But I can't find any evidence of that happening outside this lady's quote.

Meanwhile, back in reality, teenagers hunting on public land with an old Henry .22 can easily wind up with a police record all because somebody in the state capitol decided to grandstand in order to solve a problem that probably doesn't exist.

NS at least uses their trains. Arriva has been disappointing to say the least. strikes Evey other week it feels like nowadays.

Okay grandpa, back to bed.

In sorry what part of this law passing or not passing arms children??? Lol your gonna be kinda upset when you learn that I started hunting at 8 years old.

This would make the minimum age 16, which obviously the Republican pedophiles opposing this dislike.

How does a child legally obtain the weapon without an adult? If the weapon is legal then the child probably has a legal reason to carry it. If the weapon was obtained illegally then there's no reason a police officer should t confiscate it immediately and permanently if they discover it. All this law would do is label children as criminals when they may have a personally valid reason to carry and have not yet hurt anyone. How do cops treat criminals in America? I don't want targets on kid's backs.

'Photographer' was one of my US Army jobs. I could sometimes be seen with a rifle-stock-mounted camera sporting a big, long telephoto lens. I'm somewhat surprised I wasn't shot for carrying a bazooka around the base.

They're more than welcome to waste time and energy on the subject. Raising the voting age would require a constitutional amendment.

A more accurate headline would be "Republicans defend the right to marry children." The use of the passive voice makes it sound like the issue here is the bill rather than the obvious bad actors who want to preserve their ability to harm children.

Me fail English? That's unpossible!

Why does he skip sophmores?

It’s like a real short girl dating a really really tall big muscular guy. She should consider that a certain part might not fit or she might get broken in half.
