Legal age of majority.

The fact is that for some activities you must be an adult.
IMO not everyone becomes fit and responsible for all adult activities all at the same age. The current minimum age to buy alcohol (at least in my area) is 21. So you can drive at 16, own the car at 18 and buy a beer at 21.

Any thoughts on the legal age to buy different firearms?
Revolvers, semi-auto handgun, shotgun break action, pump shotgun, rifle single shot bolt, internal mag rifle, removable mag rifle, various rifles (lever action, semi-auto, pump).

1. IMHO, 25 to buy single shot rifle. 110 for everything else.

2. And for the sarcasm and hyperbole crowd...

...I infer that's 110 months (just short of 10 years old) right?

I was looking for a serious answer.

3. I don't really have a problem with raising the age to own semi-auto long guns to 21.

I kinda-sorta have reservations about "all guns" to age 21, but it would be more effective than an stupid "assault weapon" ban.

If the choice is raising the age of buying some or all guns to 21, or another AWB, I'm on the side of raising the age.

4. If had to codify what I find acceptable...

...I think I'm okay with keeping bolt action hunting type rifles and revolvers available to the 18-21 group since those are usually standard for hunting especially in areas with bears and such. Some other guns maybe 21 and up to buy.

Another AWB will be a disaster, lost seats in Congress and lost state level elections.

5. Im ok with all semi-autos at 21 or even 25.

Brain maturation matters and 21/25 allows sufficient time for mental illness to emerge.

Such a rule would not eliminate mass shootings, but it might put a dent in casualty per event rate.
