I kinda agree with this, without reading the article yet. I hope there is a clause for "-except with some training certificate"
The age for getting drafted into the military (in America) is 18. Once in the military, you will receive some kind of training on firearms. If for some reason 18yr olds didn't join the military (political or otherwise), but instead wish to get training through their own means, I think being able to purchase a firearm should still be a right. Obviously not military weaponry, but most other stuff, yeah
Yeah, I forgot, when you join the army, they give you a rifle and handgun that you get to keep with you at all times. Not like there's an armory with an officer in charge of doling them out.

This is for fighting, this is for fun!"
