It seems we will likely hear from the President either today or sometime this week on the latest string of mass killings perpetrated by young men in their early 20s using rifles. I get the sense that something more serious than a bump stock ban is coming and it will probably be a ban on semi auto rifles to those under a certain age, my guess is 25.
After the Parkland shooting, gun control advocates floated a ban on gun sales to those under 21. I don't agree with that, a total gun ban to those 18 to 20 is not fair, unless we're going to move the legal definition of adulthood to 21.
I see the pattern with these mass shooters, they're majority males under 30. I can't say I support a semi auto rifle ban to those under 25, but I can't say I oppose it either.
What efforts, if any, do you think will be discussed to reduce these mass shootings? IIRC, from Columbine to Virginia Tech, we didn't have mass shootings every year where 10+ people were killed, but the the better part of the last 10 years, it's several times a year now it's happening.
