“But has this congressman also talked about raising the draft age to 21 (or above) since those 18 year olds “shouldn’t” have access to firearms?”
It may make us feel good, but pulling in the draft age and also the voting age won’t fly. We have to keep on topic, but we should be pulling in what we want too (such as armed schools).
Just pushing back. If he doesn’t think 18 year olds are mature enough to have and use firearms to kill (not just hunt), then how can he make a case for them in the military as troops?
And someone hopped on me for daring to question a 19 year old in school with minors (as young as 14).
He was held back twice. He could’ve made up time with summer school. When he reached adulthood, he should’ve been out on his own. Let him take night school if he wants or work on his GED from home.

On topic? IMO, that’s the whole point of this no: the ‘age of responsibility’.
Having the numbers jump around depending on action is asinine.
- Old enough to join armed forces, but not own in ‘private life’
- Old enough to (attempt to) vote away the Rights of others
- Have an abortion, but not surgury
- Drive a car (much HIGHER chance of killing someone else, if not self) [IMO, this also has a ‘max age’...slower reflexes, aging sight, etc.])
If it weren’t for hypocrisy, politics just wouldn’t be the same :P
