That list isn't mine. The list is from the FBI who maintain the NICS database: https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-entries-in-the-nics-indices-as-of-january-3-2023.pdf/view

I suggest that laws and restrictions may not be the complete answer. Clearly the NICS should have reliable means to collect data for inclusion.

Should 18 year olds be allowed to buy ALL types of guns? I'm not sure.

I just searched the web and found information saying that the NRA HQ in Fairfax, VA and the adjacent range allows employees and visitors to carry on the premises. I have read that the venues where they hold events are in control of firearms restrictions and many do not allow guns or weapons.

I seriously don't really care what the NRA does or doesn't do since they are part of the problem.

The US is a Constitutional Republic. We have elected representatives draft and pass our laws. We are not based on the practice of legislative supremacy. The final word on the legitimacy of a law is the US Supreme Court. Why can't a majority of Americans emplace more effective gun laws? I don't know any more than I know why and odious and objectionable critter like trump couldn't be prevented from taking office.

As the saying goes, pure Democracy can be two wolves and chicken voting on what to have for lunch, or something like that.
