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

That’s what we do for everything. We are the stodgy empire that throws out the same strategy over & over to be done with the problem. Decades of indifference to killing ppl for US machinations. I don’t feel we have shown ourselves to be stewards of most anything, let alone arms

Let alone ourselves, our country, and our "ideals".

You are 20 years and 364 days old.. 24 hours later you are mature enough to drink...... Absurd!

That's a complaint about line drawing, not the drinking age. My lot is 9999 ft sq, the world is better if it's 10000? At 55 mph everyone is safe, but at 56 everyone is at risk?

The higher drinking age creates more demand. Forbidden fruit.

If it makes people feel better, I'm sure that by the time we have to swipe the bar code on our wrists to activate our self-driving vehicle, there will be lots more gun control.

Some 18 yr olds are more mature than ppl twice their age. Its not a bad idea entirely to raise age limits but its not the only "thing to do" either. Agree w/you completely

Reminds me. Drinking was changed to 18 after the Vietnam War. If you could get drafted you should be able to drink. But the idea is faulty anyway

18 year olds shouldn't be able to legally buy a weapon that is designed to kill lots of people quickly. As a matter of policymaking you could do worse than the assumption that most 18 year olds are irresponsible, impulsive and make bad, short-sighted decisions.
