The guns really aren't the problem. People are just fucked in the head these days. It's a side effect of our culture. I would possibly support legislation that increased the legal age for purchasing a semi-auto weapon to age 25.

What happens at age 25? Why not 24 or 26?

What would your magical legislation solve, exactly?

It would make it harder for people under 25 to purchase a semi-automatic firearm. The majority of school shooters are under 25.

So you've managed to pigeon hole the problem to 'school shootings' when the vast majority of murders are not school shootings. And this is all theorized under the assumption that there is no black market for semi-automatic rifles or they cannot make straw purchases. Someone who plans to commit mass murder doesn't care how difficult you make it. If there's a will there's a way. The only effect your legislation will have is to disenfranchise the vast majority of under 25 who aren't violent and criminally inclined.

The majority of school shooters are under 90. Why not set your arbitrary age limit there?

You know what I mean. It's not arbitrary. The brain isn't fully developed until 25.

Lol the brain doesn't magically stop developing at 25. Neuroscience doesn't assign an exact universal age at which the brain stops developing and the studies on this matter report conflicting results, with some reporting development of the prefrontal cortex into the 30s and 40s.

Your statement is equivalent to saying that everyone reaches puberty at 13.

He's right. There is increasing evidence that neuroplasticity can be retained into old age. I think LSD is a good way to make it happen.

I'm agreeing with your post about neuroscience. I also agree with everything else you've written.
