And that's not a dig, I promise. But just because there -is- a minimum age, doesn't mean that "A 17 year old kid can't walk down the streets in most states..."

In fact, from your own link, only 23 of 50 states have ANY minimum age. Meaning less than half of the USA has a minimum age to open carry a long rifle.

Look, we can get into this. If you want to, I'll commit to the dialogue, because I genuinely feel this dialogue needs to happen; Open and honest dialogue NEEDS to happen regarding Gun Control. But I want you to know up front, you are more wrong than you know.


Give me the word, we'll have this discussion civilly. But you are NOT going to enjoy it.


((Here's a little spoiler, from your link, again: "Minimum age of 18 is imposed for possession of long guns (16 states and the District of Columbia)." 16 is less than 25, and far less than 50.))
