Gun Age
What should is the legal age at which a person can buy a gun? Well the Federal law requires someone to be at least 21 years of age to buy a gun from a licensed dealer, but in rural areas especially those with hunting tradition, the age group to buy a rifle or any other long gun is at significantly younger. This has sparked a lot of controversial opinions on whether or not the age group should be augmented or kept the same. We are advocates for gun augmentation. We strongly believe that the age group should be augmented to 21 for all states and areas whether it be rural or a heavily populated.
Problems
Although we believe that the age to purchase a gun should be augmented, we can't forget those who are in need of protection from those around them. People aren't perfect and people do make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes can lead to life threatening situations. Sometimes those situations requires a firearm for protection, and these situations could range from gang activity, problems with family, problems from a past, to even "beef" at school. However, those same people who pose those same threat's would not have the access or even a possibility to make a threat if they simply did not have access to those same firearms.
Conclusion
We at A2NJT strongly suggest that the age requirement to purchase a firearm legally should be augmented. The whole topic would have never risen if there had just been an age restriction in the first place. This would have erased all the problems of minors in gangs having firearms. Hopefully one day we can live in a place where we can walk around free of worry and free of all gun violence.

Yes, I agree with an age requirement to purchase or own a firearm but how should the government deal with those who are underage and already own a firearm? Authorities can't just track down every illegal gun out there confiscate it, especially if the gun sale is unreported.
