    Maybe the average 18-20 year old should not have a gun but there’s something wearily condescending about further infantilizing people in that age group and calling it a solution

        There are few policies more fundamentally asinine than the drinking age, which contributes to a whole slew of social problems. Politicians replicating the logic behind it and then proclaiming themselves as having "Done Something" is such a copout

        The frontal lobe is still developing until the age of 25. Keeping weapons of war out of the hands of untrained young people is sane.

        The average person of any age shouldn't have guns.

        Look, as long as they're up for shooting people they've never met overseas, we'll always give em guns

        Infantilizing kids who can drink, vote and be drafted??? You've got a "wearily condescending" imagination, Mike.

        I kinda agree but still the idea that you aren't allowed to drink but you can own a certain type of gun is a bit weird. I'm not against an age limit at all

        Their message seems strangely aligned with Democrat running points, no mention of climate change, income inequality(capitalism) or wait for it...peace. These are the major concerns for all of us not lottery winners.

        Under the 2d Amendment as interpreted by US Supreme Court, it is thought that Founders sought to protect this country from foreign invaders. Thus, everybody needs a gun for protection of all. Turning guns onto each other now. Solution?

        18-20 is when you should have a chance to prove yourself but are not fully trusted. Like that microsoft interview problem, do you want to let them have their own: A) cars B) guns C) liquor I can see how someone might pick A and B but not C or C but not A and B.

        Because there's no chance that couch potato Boomers will lead an armed insurrection against their oppressors.

        Alcohol. I wd wait until 21, because it's the right thing to do. NOT alcohol21 is silly. Guns at 21 is defensible

        Maybe they should be allowed to drink and have guns and we should have better stricter background checks and or enforce ones on the books now.
