We all talk about media bias. Some say it's real and others scoff at the idea. Well Yahoo who I believe has gone full tilt left recently posted a link to an article in the LA Times. They seem to have changed the Title just a hair. I did a screen grab but can't get it to post.

Original title:

 U S Appeals Court overturns California ban on semiautomatic rifle sales to those under 21.

Yahoo title:

Trump appointed judges tear up California gun safety.


The only reason to label it that way is to inflame people on opposite sides of the issue. And they wonder why confidence in the media is at an all time low.

The only way to form a proper sentence or headline is?

"Trump Slams!!!"

"Trump Pounds!!!"

"Trump Attacks!!!"

"Trump Associates!!"

"Trump Appointees!!!"

or infuse it into the conversation.

Rip Wheeler (a Trump Supporter) Has signed on for another season of Yellowstone.

and then you have just outright lies.

Clickbait.

And to be honest some people don't need much to be Inflamed. (It's called Borderline in most Medical Journals)

I was discussing the age to acquire thing with my anti-gun uncle last week.  The only way I think it could work is if you raise the age of majority to 21 across the board; once someone reaches the age of majority they have all rights and responsibilities of an adult.  That would include exceptions for emancipated minors too.

Well then they cannot serve till 21.

Or Vote.

And you can't try them as an adult.

Too many people under estimate our kids. And some kids just can't learn.

I honestly Don't have the answer.

They would have to change the age for becoming an "adult" to 21. All the pedophiles in state legislatures, congress, hollywood, etc... out there would absolutely go ape shit. Colleges and Universities would not be able to do the things they do to 21 year olds that have lived a little. Credit Card companies woudl not be able to market to under 21, etc..., etc..., etc... ad infinitum.

THe military depends on those 18-19 year old males that are young, dumb and full of cum to visit violence upon those that our government deems it necessary. They need young pliable minds. That's part of the reason they have age limits ot join the military. The other reason is the older you are, the more suceptible to iinjury you are.

Some kids are vicious enough to be treated as adults at the age of 12.
Others will never become adults no matter how long they live.
However, if 18 is old enough to be sent into combat, 18 is old enough to buy a gun.

my dad bought me my first pellet gun when I was 11 and my first 22 when I was twelve.
my dad never bought my brother a gun because he was never old enough to own one
he stole all my guns when I was in the service and I still wouldn't trust him with a gun today

my brother was/is (?) a fucking nut.. my earliest memory of him was getting my teeth knocked out
by a toy hammer when I was about 5 years old.

I came home from school one day and he had one of those stupid vibrating football game toys
he was turning the table on then shooting at the players from across the room with my 22.
The game was shot full of holes and barely worked but that didn't stop him.
They put my brother in a special school after that one.

When I came home from the service, my brother was gone.. he'd joined the army the day before I got home
My car was wrecked, my wife had moved back home with her parents, and my guns and knives were gone.
I noticed a picture on a wall had been moved. I took if off the wall and found a bullet hole.
I checked the wall outside and saw a bullet hole in my neighbor's house.
I asked him about the hole and he said my idiot brother had an AD and missed his wife by a foot when the bullet ( a 41   mag pistol round)  came through his wall.
I quit speaking to him after he beat my grandfather up and stole a bunch of stuff for dope money.
I haven't seen him in nearly 40 years and have lost track of him since my mother passed.
At this point, I don't know if he's dead or alive.

My 2nd son... didn't take him shooting until he was 8, 3rd son... had him on a pellet gun at 6, firearms at 7. Youngest son pellet gun at 6, firearms at 8. 

My granddaughter... she's more than ready at 9. My 3 year old grandson may never be ready. 

Everyone is different.

This song seems pretty relevant considering the thread title?

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.
