Thread 514221036

I think the age that one must reach to buy a gun shouldn't be lower than 24. It seems to me that most random shootings are done by people below this age. I also feel that one should pass an IQ test, and a mental evaluation before being allowed to purchase a firearm. Most criminals also get criminal records before that age, and will disqualify themselves from owning firearms. This will solve the gun crime in the US, while also preserving the rights of responsible adults.

That’s a thoughtful take — you’re essentially proposing a system where firearm access is treated more like driving or piloting an aircraft: something with serious responsibilities and screening requirements. Let me reflect back what you’re suggesting and add some context:

**Your core ideas:**

1. **Raise the minimum gun-buying age to 24** – on the logic that the brain isn’t fully developed until around the mid-20s, and younger people are more impulsive and statistically more likely to commit violent crimes.
2. **Require an IQ test** – to ensure a buyer has the reasoning capacity to understand risks and responsibilities.
3. **Require a mental health evaluation** – to screen for psychiatric instability that might increase risk.
4. **Existing criminal records disqualify a buyer** – leveraging the fact that most criminals tend to accumulate a record early in life.
5. **Outcome hoped for:** This would cut down on random shootings and overall gun crime, but still allow responsible adults to own firearms.

**How this lines up with reality:**

* **Age factor:** Data backs your intuition — FBI stats show that people under 25 are disproportionately responsible for violent crime, including homicides. Raising the minimum age might reduce impulsive acts of violence.
* **Mental health screening:** Some states already require background checks that flag involuntary psychiatric commitments. Expanding this into a formal evaluation could catch more high-risk cases, though it would raise big questions about cost, privacy, and fairness.
* **IQ testing:** That’s where things get legally thorny. Using IQ as a gatekeeping tool would likely be challenged as discriminatory (since IQ is correlated with socioeconomic factors and educational access, not just reasoning ability). Courts have historically struck down similar barriers for voting or employment.
* **Criminal records:** Already part of U.S. law — felons are prohibited from gun ownership, but your idea leans on the fact that more crimes committed at younger ages would automatically filter out many potential buyers.

**Biggest challenges if this were proposed politically:**

* The Constitution (Second Amendment) means courts tend to scrutinize restrictions closely. “24 years old” might be easier to defend than IQ tests, which almost certainly wouldn’t hold up legally.
* Implementation — who pays for and administers the mental evaluations? Would they be periodic (renewed every 5–10 years like driver’s licenses), or one-and-done?
* Public buy-in — supporters of gun rights might see these measures as government overreach, while opponents might say they don’t go far enough.

Your model is essentially **a “high-trust, filtered access” approach** rather than banning guns altogether. It’s closer to how Europe or Japan regulates things: allow, but only after training, evaluation, and strict criteria.

>I think the age that one must reach to buy a gun shouldn't be lower than 24.
If they can draft you, throw a gun at you, and send you off to fight for the goddamned jew at 18, then you should be able to buy a gun at 18.
People don't shoot other people, niggers and trannies, spicks and jews shoot people.

>>514221036 (OP)
what about the age to make a spear?

>>514221036 (OP)
age and guns aren’t the problem really

what this shooting showed me is that there are millions of people in the pool of despair around the globe that are typically two degrees from unspeakable violence at all times, that a pricey gun and enough ammo are the only things keeping them from murdering praying children

shooting kids is a symptom of our society

we’ve had guns since we’ve had America, but this is only happening in the last 30 years. Something deeper is broken and no one fucking cares about that.

reminder it's not an age problem, or a gun problem, it's a nigger problem.
You can't fix the problem until you can admit what the problem is.

>>514221036 (OP)
The legal age to purchase a gun should match the legal age to practice free speech, vote, and drink alcohol, since they’re all rights guaranteed to us under the constitution.

fify

>>514221594
the tranny is also a symptom of the same problem tho

>>514221510
We need to start doing our elections African style. they know how to do it, there's a reason they will never modernize. there's nothing deeper that's broken it's just faggot ass modern society and cameras everywhere, nobody can even get mad and crash out. If you wanna even raise your voice at someone you better be ready to anhero afterwards or face ridicule and legal problems.

>>514221389
What does that have to do with guns. Go make a spear, I don't care. If you go apeshit with it, someone with a conceal carry license will probably end you before you can do too much damage. The idea is to filter out the people most likely to abuse the privilege of owning firearms, criminals, low IQ types, and the mentally unstable.

>>514221036 (OP)
That's because many shooters get shot by others before they reach that age.
The majority of mass shooting are black males shooting other black males.

>>514221522
And how many of them get criminal records at young ages? The higher the age is raised to, the more criminals will already have criminal records making it illegal to own firearms. The price for carrying an illegally owned fire arm should be high enough to remove people for society that aren't following the rules. It's a filter.

>>514221711
>concealed carry
lol no fucking way. he'll be afraid to use because he doesn't want to do life. meanwhile I'll spear anybody I want, throw it at another guy, and while he's shaking and cant make a decision I'll spear him too. then hell get 60 years for a stray shot and I'll be out in 5 on mental health. you see where I'm going with this? Of course I can only do this in Minecraft because I'm white. but if you were dark or a woman skewer away. gun laws are a joke. stay unregistered you dumb fuck.

>>514221587
We all know the constitution is rigorously followed, and couldn't possibly be amended. *rolls eyes*

>>514222049
You sound unstable. Disqualified, form spears too or any sharp objects. You are also required to ware one of those retard helmets so you don't hurt yourself if you bump into things.

>>514222361
I'd prefer a suit of armor. when will you fucking retards start acting like the 2nd class citizens they've turned us into
>you're the nigger now white boi
cool that means I can quit dressing like a dork or worrying about anything the government does. also means I should be selfish and disreard the idea of family and moral values. fuckin right sounds good to me because if I was to have a family they would become brainwashed and blame dad for all their problems, then use the biased court system to make me out as a monster. great thanks. my new name is Jamal Freeman.

>>514221587
Okay, lets say the age stays at 18 but the prerequisites are that you have to be smart enough to study for a safety test that also acts as an IQ test, pay for the mental evaluation yourself, have no serious criminal record, and keep a current license that allows for conceal carry too. The bar is too low for any idiot to just walk in and buy a gun. We don't let unlicensed people drive cars, why should idiots have guns without passing similar tests?

>>514223467
Firearm insurance should also be a requirement for people that plan to conceal carry. That prerequisite would filter out the rejects as well. There are so may ways to solve the "Gun Problem" without actually banning guns. Just filter out that idiots.

>>514223467
Then you need a iq/safety test to vote, practice free speech, and drink alcohol. I doubt that will ever happen though since even voter id gets claims of racism.

>driving test
Driving isn’t a right defined in the constitution like guns, voting, and drinking alcohol.

No.
The answer remains no.

You will meet your end in a mass grave.

>>514221036 (OP)
I think everyone should be issued a gun so they can protect themselves from wild niggers

>>514223975
An IQ test to vote sounds like a great idea.

>>514223975
this guy kind of gets it. let me red pill you on what cops used to do
>solve actual crimes
about as recent as 90 years ago people being retards was handled by the community. the more laws they make and the less people think they have to do something themselves the worse this will get. nobody can even write anymore they use chatgpt
>rights
lol, when did guns and boose come before horses? did I miss that meeting?

>>514224055
Check them for guns, and put them in detention centers for breaking the law. I support stop and frisk.

>>514224158
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

>>514224157
Take a walk. Travel =/= driving only.

>>514224399
or just start punishing people for crimes instead of giving them slaps on the wrist.
armed robbery? 30 years in prison
kill somebody with intent? death sentence

>>514224399
>stop and frisk
until somebody does it to you of course.

advocating for any sort of law and order is retarded. this is the US. it is a cucked western country. every law that is made is to be used against YOU and nobody else. Any white man that is smart should retard the making of any new laws any chance he gets. get used to the anarchy, learn to love, its better than the 1984 that's coming in 20 years

I fell like you’re a Jew shill

>>514221522
niggers exist all around the world but they only do mass shooting in muttland, which just so happens to be the only country where you can buy an assault rifle at the grocery store.
just a coincidence though.
