GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger says it's a 'no brainer' to raise age requirement to purchase guns after Buffalo and Uvalde shootings

"I'm definitely ready to engage in that conversation and maybe that ultimately includes not selling them anymore," Kinzinger responded."That's fine because to me, again, I'm focused on saving life now."

He continued:"At the same time, what's the first thing we can do that I think will mitigate this problem, let's raise the age to 21. And I think to look at the AR discussion as kind of the short and near and also far term target."Subscribe to push notifications

Please, please beg the Republicans to raise the age to 21. I like the measures being discussed, but no one’s talking much about raising the age to 21. You’re a beacon of light in this party and I know you can do it.

Congressman and Veteran Lt Colonel (USAF) Adam Kinzinger for next president! This is a Republican in the true sense!!! Come on America let’s vote this man into office as our next president!

Little Adam would definitely know about no brainer.

Your in the time when you need to take charge and show that other in the party. Is enough time with the killings and law ness. Must end

RepKinzinger has always been a proponent of ‘greed over the lives of grade schoolers’, … Representative Kinzinger, if hand-grenades are banned as weapons of war, an Ar15 assault rifle fits the same measure of death.

If you are saying this is where you want to start OK. We will take it. But you also need to have universal background checks, remove the liability shield for gun manufacturers, and BAN assault weapons. A National gun buy back to get them out of circulation and thereafter BANNED.

morgfair Are we saying this would be more acceptable if committed by a 21 year old?

morgfair It’s so obvious isn’t it! The irrational thinking by the GOP is sickening!

One step. But the Vegas shooter was older, and he killed a huge number of people. (And I'm just too damn tired to google it.)

The average mass shooter is 33.2 years old. Raising the age to 21 is virtue signaling.

Well if he won’t stay in congress it doesn’t matter what he says.

Adam, I have to ask......why do you own an AR-15? Let's get assault weapons off the streets.

I wish kinzinger would get his coalition together. There’s a Republican I can support.

To the US Senate: Pass H.R. 8!

thisisinsider Whaaaat? A GOP lawmaker going against the gun lobby?

bennyjohnson FoxNews 18yr old stranger walks into my gun shop with 1 type of I.D. and pays with cash (several 1000) I would have refused the customer. (common sense) We should (follow) the $$, more to this story, who influenced + the cash $$ ?
