Should We Raise the Age Limit on Gun Ownership? Ben Stein Weighs In
“I suspect that if you did have a little more experience handling a firearm, you might think about this a little bit differently, because responsible gun owners- and that's not, I'm not even talking about people who carry concealed, I'm just talking about somebody who owns, who owns a gun, responsible gun owner- is going to be intimately familiar with how the weapon works.”
Ever wonder if today's 18-year-olds are ready for the responsibility of gun ownership? In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein and his co-host Judah Friedman are joined by Myles Wakeham from beunconstrained.com and Ben Boychuk, managing editor from Amgreatness.com, to tackle this very question. They dive into a heated debate on whether the age limit for owning guns should be raised, considering how different today's youth are compared to 40 years ago.
The discussion doesn't stop there. They also scrutinize the Uvalde police department's handling of recent events and suggest that perhaps border patrol should take over. The conversation takes a deeper turn as they address the mental health crisis plaguing the nation and its role in fueling violence. With the media often portraying law enforcement in a negative light, the hosts and guests discuss the need for moral rearmament in America.
Ben Stein shares his personal perspective, noting that as an 81-year-old, he doesn't see the need for a handgun or an AR-15. This sparks a broader conversation about what it means to be a responsible gun owner today. The episode is packed with strong opinions and thoughtful reflections that will leave you questioning and pondering long after it's over.
So, if you're curious about the complexities of gun ownership laws, mental health issues, and the portrayal of law enforcement in the media, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for a conversation that's as engaging as it is thought-provoking.
