What!!

Post by JediN8 »

Say this on the AP news line!

_Finland announced plans Wednesday to impose stricter restrictions on firearms, including raising the minimum age for handgun ownership from 15 to 20. The proposal was prompted by two school massacres within a year in which lone gunmen opened fire on classmates and teachers.

They currently allow Children to purchase handguns :eek6

They needed every gun they could find to keep the Germans at bay in WWII - a little less than 70 years ago.

Increasing the age from 15 to 20 does't go under "Gun Control" in my opinion. Any more details?

Follow the link that stevie_d_64posted in this thread and you will see more that have followed suite. I especailly love the German responce that they are going to rasie the legal limit from 18 to 21 to stop things like this. Even thought the shooter in yesterdays shooting was only 17. Just more knee jerk reactions spawn from emotion.
