Loesch on Changing Age for Long Guns to 21: Young Women Need to Defend Themselves

RUSH EXCERPT:
LOESCH: "True, true, but specifically, where it relates to long guns. Because it’s 21 for handguns, 18 for long guns. But I also think of young women, and you’ve had a previous town hall where you spoke with a young woman named Kim corben who was a college student who was brutally raped in her dorm and she was under the age of 21. And one of the things that she speaks out about loudly now is how she wished she would have had the ability to have some sort — a shotgun, whatever it was, to be able to defend herself. I was 20 years old when I lived on my own. I didn’t live with my parents when I was 20. I lived on my own when I was 20 years old. And I didn’t — well, not at first, but I had a shotgun. I think we have to take that into consideration. We have to think about individuals. If you’re old enough to vote, you’re old enough to drive a car, you’re old enough to serve your country, I think that you are old enough if — now, here’s the caveat. If anyone wants to listen to the caveat. The caveat, though, Jake, and for everybody out there, is if you are not a danger to yourself or others. That’s what it comes back to. If you are not a threat to yourself or your community, that is what it comes back to."
