Before you visit your local recruiter, be sure you meet the minimum qualifications for serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. ... You must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien. You must be at least 17 years old (17-year-old applicants require parental consent)

 

So he can sign up for the military at 17 to defend his country with weapons much worse then a AR-15 style rifle but he cannot help to defend US businesses that are being looted, burned and destoryed by idiots..................

 

Brains are not mature, needs help - but we could sign him up for the military and ship him to a war zone with actual assault weapons. bwhahhahhhaha, but to protect people and property from rioters - sorry but I think his brains are plenty mature more so then this arguement you posted.

 

Only reason he can not own a gun in Illinois is because it has the worst gun control laws in the US ( and the most shootings per weekend probably in Chicago )  Maybe if more people(and younger people) could carry legally there then there would be less criminal shooting.
