If we don't compromise we will become a polarized society and be very unhappy in our relationships. I refuse to take extreme measures on most things. We have to start somewhere and work our way to a meaningful goal. Extremism has gotten us to this time and place in this country and will destroy our form of democracy.

What's your alternative?

This bill raises the age limit. To vote no at this time means to keep the current permissive law where kids can get guns. THAT is doing the NRA bidding.

@dare2dream Remove all guns from all civilians not in law enforcement.... alternatives are a futile act of madness.. go ahead be Crazy. You doing the nra bidding... laughing behind your back!

I don't see how there is a compromise especially when the NRA is fighting even this little step. A previous initiative which I donated and which passed legalized the removal of weapons in a domestic violence situation. I and many others believe the only way to battle the industry is one step at a time. We have enough extremist methods and all they do is bring chaos.
Just so you know I have no problem with people disagreeing. Sometimes I miss points and disagreements, if done right, can be instructional.

@GipsyOfNewSpain , I'm with you, Gypsy. We should be removing guns from civilians. But that's not on the ballot! The choice is 1) raise the age limit for guns or 2) continue to let kids own guns.

Put a gun buy back on the ballot and I'll vote with you for removal of guns.

@dare2dream No compromise when inocent lives are at stake... No Compromise!

It's difficult enough getting anything at all. It's called baby steps.

Disagree. You are doing the nra bid at this moment. Only precedence this kind of law will create is the usual return to.... if I am old enough to vote and to serve in the military I should be old enough to own the Baddest Assault Gun in the market... 'sorry to not accepting your compromise.
