So let me get this straight: Lower voting age to 16 because kids are so smart and mature, raise gun purchase age to 21 because kids are stupid and immature?

Well then we should allow them to own guns. If they have the maturity to vote then they have the maturity to won guns. Such a ridiculous argument being put forth.

OK if they own property!!
Kids are so dumb and gullible today....nothing more than sheep.

RAISE the voting age, please.
Young people today are grievously slow to mature. They even have a term for forcing themselves to take care of themselves. They call it “adulating”
No joke.

Raise it to 35. No single women, non-homeowners allowed to vote AT ALL!

16 yrs. Yep, right smack dab in the middle of their high school leftist indoctrination.
To: Trump20162020
Such a load of crapola, this whole movement. If some reliable polling showed that the 16-18 year old vote would swing heavily Republican, they would instantly believe the exact opposite of everything they claim to believe today about "hot and cold" cognition and other blahblahblah they're spewing.
They want to move the needle towards more Democratic voters, whether they come from prisons, drug clinics, third world shitholes, nuthouses or nurseries. The tally is the only issue they care about.

The insane liberal mindset. Anything to get MORE votes from the ignorant and the stupid.

...challenging the tiresome stereotype of American kids as indolent narcissists whose brains have been addled by smartphones.Actually, they've proven it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Also force their parents to cover them on medical insurance until age 26because...., well just because.

The New York Times is full of crap.
The Parkland punks are too clueless to even tie their shoes, much less vote.

OK
If they are old enough to vote then they are old enough to:
- Buy a gun
- Drink
- Enter into contracts
- Be tried as an adult

“Big Bird” for President.
The dumbest people on the planet are teens who think they know everything.
