In an interview given to KRAP-TV news yesterday, 18-year-old Dufus B. Realz made a case for 18-year-olds having the ability to purchase all types of firearms, including large-magazine semi-auto rifles like the one used in a recent Florida school shooting that killed 17 and injured many others. "I don't get it, you know. It's legal for me to put videos of me eating Tide Pods and barfing on YouTube. Why shouldn't I be able to buy, like, a gun? It's not fair, you know what I'm saying? I've been saving up for an AR, you know. Every week, I put $5 in a jar. Soon, I'll have enough money for my own AR. I did have to borrow $437 from my fund to buy the Tide Pods and the GoPro camera, but I'll put it back when I find a new job. They fired me, you know, because I had to go to the hospital after making my last video and missed work. But, I need an AR, I think. I want one, too."
