In before the gun confiscation NUTS.....

Here's the 2023 data. Must be the most recent. It's shows pretty much the same age numbers.

Grunts. Not the whole Corps. The Marine Corps has the worst retention rate in the military.
Youve admitted to doing the same. Not that you care to examine actual evidence when its presented to you.
Additionally, as this 88 page thread proves, you have no interest in debate, and as i dont give a loud fart in a hurricane about anything you or your buddy ghost think on the subject, ill leave you to your trolling.
I sincerely hope should you ever be the victim of an armed home invasion, the perpetrators are armed with melee weapons, so as an added bonus to the sound beating you're clearly in need of, youll have nothing to bitch about. Molon Labe.
POOR Theo is SO confused. This whole issue was decided WAY BACK in time with the human races FIRST murder. Cain killed Abel with a rock. God blamed Cain...not the rock. THE END.
Literally every suggestion he has made to address gun violence would make it WORSE.
Remember what happened the last time we tried to outlaw something on the grounds that more of it would lead to bad things for the public? Al Capone does.
Where is the word family?
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1791, states that "a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
No he isn't. He doesn't own a gun. Which makes him both a failure as a gun nut and a resident of the fine state of Alabama.Ghost is on YOUR side!
Serious question: How come the left never pushes to ban the manufacture of guns? They always want to stop law-abiding citizens from owning guns. They do everything in their power to make it harder to own a gun. Which as any sane person knows, will only make the gun violence problem worse.
But if guns were illegal to make, that would immediately reduce the number of guns in circulation. Which is what @GatorTheo and his ilk claim they want.
And yet...they never push for that. I wonder why that is?
There are people who want to ban certain guns but not ban the manufacture? That's an odd stance for someone to take. Do you know anyone who actually thinks that?
I think you're on to something big. You and your close ally @LordofallSocks ought to get together to formalize the official gun nut opinion on the topic.
I think being a gun but is more honorable than being a coward, don’t you Teo?
He already admitted he made up the number but way to support the team.
I'm not supporting the team, I'm asking if you genuinely know what a Grunt is ?
My son was a Grunt for 4 years, he just chose to get out of his beloved Corps and his mother and I brought him back home this past weekend.
So when you start putting up "stats" that show the average age of enlisted Marines is 24.1 take into account that number reflects the entire Marine Corps ...... Grunts average age is lower, and that is what @LordofallSocks was talking about - but I suppose your reading skills need some more honing.
If he says it's more to the tune of 21 then I believe him because my son was in for the last 4 years and most of the guys that reported to Fleet the same time he did, that are Grunts like he is, are getting out just like he did.
You're concerned about MY reading skills? Maybe take a look at what Socks said....."And 78 percent of the Marine Corps."
You are supporting the team. You simply want to be on Sock's side.
That is that democrat in you son coming out..it ALWAYS does. I have the gun to help protect my family, and it is my RIGHT under our Constitution(something you will NEVER understand) And the COWARDS are people scared of an inanimate object so much that they would let harm come to their loved ones because of their cowardly phobia. Now I will not mention any names here...but we know those kind of people! How would you feel if your family needed you...but because of your cowardice...you could do nothing? You see...I will never have to answer that. Some may.....You're the one who feels like you need a gun to be a man.
Futile trying to debate someone who is afraid of an inanimate object, and believes that they are scary and evil
The data seems to say otherwise. Anyway, I think you admitted your statement was hyperbole/exaggeration like you claim that I use.
I was just wondering why you are supporting the gun manufacturer on this issue. Well to be fair, you are just going along with whatever the left's stance is, and you never thought about it. Like all good parrots do.
Maybe you should. Why would the left not want to ban the manufactuer of guns? Refusing to adopt that stance is a wet kiss to gun manufactuerers.
I agree, I think we're onto something big here. Is the left really in bed with gun manufactuerers? Is Theo as well?
@LordofallSocks @Capt Ron 1 @nail1988 @fatman76
Guys! Please get in here and help Ghost figure out what he's talking about. Something about anti-gun people supporting gun companies.
if i have time today ill call my buddy at marforres and get an exact age breakdown of of all Marines in the 0300 military occupation specialty that you won't read.
That's fine. Perhaps your statement is true, or at least closer to true, about some segment of the Marines.
I told you what I am talking about. I asked why doesn't the left support a ban on making guns?
You obviously had never thought about this, that's why you are desperate to change the topic and muddy the waters. You do this every time someone puts you in a position where you actually have to think about the topic.
Liberals can repeat the talking points, but they can't defend them. Theo can't defend why he supports gun makers on this issue.
He doesn’t know what 0300 means unless he googles it.
Besides, he would hate 0300’s because what do they do ? They carry and use automatic weapons.
Yes, the United States Marine Corps team, aka socks team.
And again, for the umpteenth time, he’s referring to Grunts - which by the way you haven’t told us what a Grunt is …. which you probably don’t care anyway.
But that's not what he said.
It would be like me saying Chevrolets can go 0-60 in 3 seconds.
Oh, I meant Corvettes.
Yes, he absolutely did.
Go back and read, again, post #3520 and 3526.
You don’t have to go too far back, it’s on this page.
I see your mistake. You picked up in the middle of a conversation so you don’t know what you’re talking about.
But anyway, I appreciate you trying to support the troops.
