Social media also has their share of friendlies.
I just found these posted on social platform sites.
We can use them, too.

So be it then. I’m sick of the threats. Make me a criminal already.
We both thought it stupid he could by an assault weapon and not a pack of cigarettes, I also said that Im a Life Member of the NRA. And I made him completely read the owners manual, and understand how to disassemble and clean, Then we went out and qualified with said weapon. Then disassemble and clean, then reload all the ammo that was shot. Were Responsible Gun owners. And, by the way; said gun is locked safely in my Gun Safe. My son is now 22 and still prefers that it is in the Safe until he wants to go shooting!

I was kicked of this Forum after the 'Sandy Hook Massacrer" when I said the legal age to own a firearm should be 21! I was called a NRA Basher. Ive been a member of the NRA my whole life.
18 year old kids Should Not be able to buy Assault Weapons , ammo and high cap mags when they cant even buy cigarettes and beer. Yes, common sense dictates there should be some sort of new gun regulations. Disillusioned kids with money shouldn't be able to buy guns. Yes, My son Son bought a Ruger AR556 when he turned 18; and we both thought it was B.S that I still had to get him a pack of Camel's ! The difference between my kid and some Cuckoo is; he was raised shooting. The first thing I made him do is read the book. He had to understand how to disassemble and clean and understand the rifle. Then we went to the range. Then I made him Qualify. Then I made him clean. Then I made him reload his ammo . We are a NRA Family. We are Safe . We are the ones you want on your side.
Yes ,we should all support normal common sense regulations. Don't sell Assault weapons to kids! My Kids Agree.
Lets work together and make our rights to the 2nd Amendment safe. If unscrupulous people sell guns and ammo to kids and they shoot a school full of kids ; that's OUR time as NRA members to not let that happen ever again.
18years old; cant buy beer, cant buy cigarettes, cant buy guns, PERIOD!
The Demoncrates want these mass shooting 's to happen. Thats the only way they can upset our 2nd Amendment. We as NRA supporters need to beat them to the punch and come up with a way to keep Assault weapons out of the hands of kids .

You are sadly mistaken sir.
“They” use these mass shooting events to further their agenda which is to eliminate all guns. They have already demonstrated the fact that they have little regard for our rights and the constitution. So if they pass this law what makes you think they will stop there?
There are already laws on the books to deal with bad actors. We don’t need more. And by the way, did you check to see what they are going to include with this so called “common sense” law? You know how they are. They will try to sneak other laws into the bill while we have our backs turned. Just like they did with Covid relief bills.
One of them is red flag laws which further enable gun haters to come after us. And the so called “gun show loop hole”. Are you to really going to believe someone that claims a 9MM bullet will tear your lung out of your body?
Don’t allow yourself to be turned by their evil rhetoric. You give an inch and they will take a mile. They are hoping to divide and conquer us. But they can only do so if we become weak and allow them to.
I am a responsible gun owner and law abiding citizen. I should not be penalized by the actions of others.

True, however it is extremely difficult to avoid as certain social media platforms have conditioned people who would otherwise be moderates into entrenched positions.

AR = assault rifle ......... right?
I read it on the internet so it must be true!!!!!
I know you're joking but just in case other may not know, the AR in AR-15 is there for "Armalite Rifle" the original manufacturer of the Modern Sporting Rifle. (I love it Bam-Bam lol)
Now that is on the internet so it must be true!
All well and good that you are a responsible gun owner and so is your kid. BUT you still say 18 year olds shouldn't be ALLOWED to buy one - while in the next breath saying YOU allowed YOUR 18 year old to buy one. Sorry, but no matter how you slice, dice, or parse it that comes across as hypocrisy.
And FWIW 18 year olds can buy smokes in every state I've ever been in. Not beer, but certainly tobacco. What state do you live in anyway?

I purposely read the entire story (several full pages of print.) about the latest shootings in the New York Times paper. They delve into all aspects of the shooters. They went back into the childhood of the shooter and were making all kinds of physiological assessments but there was not one word about the amount of time the shooters spent playing "shoot-um games". Kids spend hundreds of hours playing those killing games and become to think what happens in the games are real. Why isn't there an effort to ban shooting games to anyone under 21 years of age?
Well, I think the short answer to your question is that many of the same people who attack the 2nd Amendment relentlessly are champions of the 1st Amendment, and would never support the government censoring any sort of speech or expression. It's hypocritical as all get-out...
In some of the other threads on here about this, some of us have made the point that something in our society has definitely changed in recent years. What causes an 18 year old to go to a grocery store or a school and kill people? And why are so many of these young sickos attracted to AR-platform rifles? Is it video games? The constant blathering of news people and politicians about the AR? I don't know, but it's very strange...
The term "assault weapon" is like "gun violence." Terms made up by the anti gun people to vilify something they don't like/want banned. Assigning a pejorative label makes things easier to hate and rail against. It gives their followers a term to spew along with their emotion to counter logical discussion.
Gun control is just a step along the way to their "utopia."

"AR" has got to be one of the most unintended "PR" misdirection's ever!!!!!

The family of Eugene Stoner
was quoted as saying,
"Our father, Eugne Stoner,
designed the AR-15 and
subsequent M-16 as a
military weapon to give
our soldiers an advantage
over the AK-47."
His family added he never
expected the rifle to be
a civilian firearm. The family
said that really came when patents
ran out.

Isn't that what the people will be using it for if it came down to it?

So it's not really a "modern
sporting rifle" then? That's
only the advertising in some
cases so anti-gunners won't
keep labeling it an "assault rifle"
or a weapon of war?

Define what "Modern Sporting rifle" is
I always thought that term was stupid, along with "America's Rifle"
Why don't we just call it what it basically is-a semi automatic rifle???? As opposed to a bolt action, a lever action or a single shot????
Everyone has to have "their" catch phrases. To me an assult weapon is a full auto BAR, An M2 "Ma DUce" or a M134 Minigun-
Sorry but I am fed up with the invective used on both sides!
Those folks, who bash the second amendment and are "champions of the first amendment": Are not really first amendment champions, they believe they should be able to print, say, broadcast anything they want. But they are Woke, and believe in silencing the uwoke. They support their causes and boycott unacceptable opinions

And that is exactly one of the
points. Any legislation regarding
semi-automatic rifles or their
magazine capacity will not discuss
"assault rifles." It will be specific
to semi-auto rifles.
