It would have way too easy access to minors, who do not have the maturity to make that type of choice. That is why we have age of consent laws.

So what you're saying is that you want to give the job of parenting to the government? You expect the government to be able to provide the monitoring for a child that the parent(s) who lives with the child can't even accomplish? Why would you believe government to be capable of this?

So, you are in favor of repealing age limits on alcohol purchases, and believe these limits to be examples of government stealing the role of parents?

Do you also favor eliminating the minimum age for a driver’s license?
