GOP-led Congress is probably regretting that decision after Saturday's teenager-led March for gun reform.

No they're not. And the special interests funded and led the march. Even taxpayer money was used by some to fund some buses for some school districts. Oh, and the March for Life was twice as large as the March for our Lives.

Where are you getting your March for Life statistics. Can't find any that support your assumption and not sure how it's relevant. Do you support the rights of fetuses but not the rights of children not to be shot at school?

Remember this was a direct result of the Viet Nam war. 18 yr olds being drafted when they had no vote led to this amendment. The Parkland students may very well lead to another, if nothing else but at the state level.

And how interesting it is that the gun control crowd is clearly willing to repeal this and put it back to 21. Surely that's the case, isn't it? Or is a gun purchase the only right they seek to artificially delay for 3 years?

It's too bad more of these young people don't actually vote. If they did, we wouldn't have this current diaster in D.C.

And what a mistake that was. Now we have all the brainwashed college aged kids eligible to vote.

My first chance to vote, and I have ever since. As I remember it was a poor turn out by the new voters and we saw what happened.

The second signature is just showing off to Carl Albert. But the joke's on you, second signature, because I can read Carl Albert but I sure can't read you!

Was there a specific voting age when the Constitution was ratified? What were the other qualifications needed to vote then?

I do not understand. Please. One can vote at 18 (that is choose, impact), get killed in the military service when 18 but cannot drink a beer before 21 b-day? Dissonance? Any other "free country" overruling choice this way?
