Do you think the age for legal firearm purchases should be raised? To what age?

HippieChick58 comments on May 24, 2022:

No, it should NOT be raised. Guns need to be regulated and INSURED. Insurance companies will shut down the industry to avoid losses. All gun owners need to complete at least 40 hours of safety training to get a license, and additional training on gun safety annually. Personal liability insurance for all registered owners, and and limits to the amounts of ammo that can be purchased annually. Regulate guns like cars are regulated. Insurance companies are risk adverse, they will lock it down tighter than a damn drum. And automatic weapons need to be restricted to the military. Their only purpose is mass casualties and mayhem. No civilian needs one of those. If anyone wants the rush of firing one of those, let them enlist.

It was a fascinating look at a very arrogant Republican male mind. I was heartened by the support I got from many on Ag.com. I ended up blocking several of those members, and many of them are no longer on the site. And it is a reminder that just because you're "god free" doesn't mean you're not an a--hole.

HippieChick58 comments on May 18, 2022:

Definitely a new word for me, and looking deeper I found this: (of a language) forming words predominantly by agglutination, rather than by inflection or by using isolated elements. Examples include Hungarian, Turkish, Korean, and Swahili. And from Wiki: Examples of agglutinative languages are the Altaic languages (see Turkish), Basque, Swahili, Zulu, Malay, and some Mesoamerican and native North American languages including Nahuatl, Huastec, and Salish. An example of an agglutinative constructed language is Klingon.(from Wikipedia)
