    Default Trump calls for raising the minimum age for buy semi-automatic to 21

    I must say that I'm incredibly surprised, so what will Democrats have to say about that?

    President Donald Trump has declared that the nation should keep semi-automatic guns out of the hands of anyone under 21.

    Trump's statements on Thursday in support of raising the gun age bucked his loyal supporters in the National Rifle Association amid America's public reckoning over gun violence.

    He also pushed hard for arming security guards and many teachers in US schools.

    'There's nothing more important than protecting our children,' Trump said, adding that he'd spoken with many members of Congress and NRA officials and insisting they would go along with his plans in the wake of last week's school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 people dead.

    But there were no words of support from the NRA for his age-limit proposal - and outright opposition from organizations of teachers and school security guards for the idea of arming schools to deal with intruders.

    'The NRA will back it and so will Congress,' Trump contended as he called for raising the legal age of purchase for 'all' guns from 18 to 21. A spokesman later said Trump was speaking specifically about semi-automatic weapons.

    Nearly every gun in the country is semi-auto, guess it's time to raise the military age as well.

    1) that he doesn't understand the real problem
    2) that he isn't sincere
    3) that he doesn't go far enough

    Unless it's a single shot handgun/rifle, that is true. I have some of those, too.

    If the age is increased, the 26th amendment needs to be repealed. If someone isn't old enough to own a gun until age 21, they aren't old enough to vote until 21

    If the age is increased, the age of a driver's license should be 21. If someone isn't old enough to own a gun, and it would be based on the mindset that guns kill, someone shouldn't be able to drive something that kills more people every year than guns until 21.

    Nothing, because tomorrow, depending on the crowd, he could say sixteen should be the minimum age, few listen to what he says, he has little credibility left outside of the Kool Aid drinkers
