    I wonder if the GOP are going to use the snap funds as an attempt to win elections by blaming the Democrats.

        They LOWERED the age of gun ownership in Florida to 18, and they’re shooting each other all over the place. Their aim isn’t too good, either. They keep hitting innocent bystanders, but hey, that’s the price you pay for the second amendment, right? Getting accidentally shot by some hood rat with a legal gun because DeSatan wants everyone to believe he’s packing more than 3 inches in his pants.

          Gun ownership age has been 18 since there was a gun ownership age.

          21 only applies to handguns and certain specific other weapons like NFA items and unlassified “firearms” (guns that aren’t classified as pistols, rifles or shotguns - mostly firearm receivers or a few weird stockless “shotguns” that don’t actually fit the shotgun definition).

            He lowered the age for handguns to 18, after convicted criminal Rick Scott and the Florida Republican Legislature raised it to 21 after the Parkland Massacre (something Scott doesn’t like to talk about).

              It’s been illegal to sell a handgun to anyone under 21 everywhere in the US for decades. The Governor of Florida can’t change that.

              Yeah, they can say it isn’t against Florida law, but the ATF super duper doesn’t care about Florida’s little make-believe firearm deregulation.

                Okay, except 18 year olds CAN buy guns in Florida.

                Weed is also Federally outlawed, and you can buy that all over Florida, too, despite it being technically illegal even according to FLORIDA law.

                What does the law have to with anything anymore?The simple fact is that if MAGAs want something, they’ll do it, no matter what the law says.

                  Thet can buy non-NFA rifles or shotguns. They cannot buy handguns.

                  You really, super-duper don’t know what you’re talking about if you think an 18yo can walk into a gun store and buy a handgun.

          actually, sadly here in toronto, youth gun crimes have been rising due to the flow of guns coming from the USA.

      As a way to control women they care that the kids are born. Then it’s survival of the fittest until the strongest reach military age, then they are sent to kill brown people and secure oil and resources.

    There are more important things to spend money on, like a new ugly ballroom, or giving $40 billion to bail out Argentina -again, a fat settlement over the FBI investigating his criminal activities, bombs to blow up Venezuelan fishermen, renovations to his Qatari airplane bribe, the 30,000 inmate concentration camp being built in Guantanamo Bay (oh yeah, Google it), etc.

    All this stuff costs massive amounts of money, and you’d rather spend it to feed poor kids? It’s not like they are going to grow up to be rich and important, so who cares?

    This is the kind of thing that gets a whole lot of Confederates very hard. I mean they think empathy is something to be mocked. Their glorious demigod Charlie Kirk thought empathy was a made up, new age term.
