Huh. That is shockingly ignorant. Take a look at the chart below.

Um yeah. I think we agree about this.
An expert with a sling, with thousands of hours of practice, can throw up to 10 rocks per minute at maybe 150 miles an hour with accuracy over 20 to 40 feet. But he’s gotta carry a bag of rocks.
A veteran of first person shooter games who goes out and buys an AR 15 can send 40 or 45 rounds down range with reasonable accuracy to 100 yards at 900+ miles an hour for minutes on end with spare mags in pockets on his body armor.
It’s not about the rock, dumbass.

Hypothetically, if I saw an alligator down at the creek that seemed drawn to humans and not scared of us, I'm pretty sure I could bounce a rock off its head with my assault slingshot at 40 yards. If it was only 40 feet away I'd probably just throw the rock. Hypothetically.

Is this the updated version of: "If you are old enough to die for your country, you are old enough to vote"?

The Twenty-sixth Amendment (Amendment XXVI) to the United States Constitution prohibits the states and the federal government from using age as a reason for denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States who are at least eighteen years old. It was proposed by Congress on March 23, 1971, and three-fourths of the states ratified it by July 1, 1971.
Various public officials had supported lowering the voting age during the mid-20th century, but were unable to gain the legislative momentum necessary for passing a constitutional amendment.
The drive to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 grew across the country during the 1960s, was driven in part by the military draft held during the Vietnam War. The draft conscripted young men between the ages of 18 and 21 into the United States Armed Forces, primarily the U.S. Army, to serve in or support military combat operations in Vietnam.[1] A common slogan of proponents of lowering the voting age was "old enough to fight, old enough to vote".[2]
Determined to get around inaction on the issue, congressional allies included a provision for the 18-year-old vote in a 1970 bill that extended the Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court subsequently held in the case of Oregon v. Mitchell that Congress could not lower the voting age for state and local elections. Recognizing the confusion and costs that would be involved in maintaining separate voting rolls and elections for federal and state contests, Congress quickly proposed and the states ratified the Twenty-sixth Amendment.

There is enough shit this guy has ACTUALLY said, why make shit up?
And, for the record, I know Keith didn't make the fake meme. He's just sharing it.
Fact check: Trump did not call Republicans “the dumbest group of voters”
