Create a Federal Minimum Age of 35 to Possess a Firearm

Created by V.H. on October 03, 2015

Our founders stipulated the minimum age for President as 35. They did so because 35 is an age of judgment and prudence, which is why this petition seeks to create a federal minimum age of 35 to own/possess a firearm.

We propose that violations of this regulation be a progressive, fine-able offense and adjudicated in a similar fashion to drunk-driving DUI violations. Weapons would be forfeited. Fines would be assessed on any under-age offender regardless of juvenile status. Legal-aged individuals who provide or permit under-age individuals access to their weapons are also subject to fines and forfeiture.

Fines are non-dischargeable. However, the assessment of any fine would not permanently remove the rights of the individual to keep and bear arms.
