We do not let kids under 18 vote, sign contracts, legally drink, or a variety of other things, because they are scientifically shown not to have valid judgement about their own mortality, and the cause-and-effect nature of the world.

Democrats believe you should be 21 (or never) to own a gun... but you should allow 16-year-olds to vote, your underage daughter should get an abortion without telling you, and five-year olds should be encouraged to choose their own gender.

Back in the 60’s, you had to be 21 to vote. My first ballot cast was in 1968, the year I turned 21. Then they changed the law because so many kids were dying in Vietnam before they could even cast a vote. The legal age for drinking back then was 18, and there were no age restriction laws to buy a pack of cigarettes. I never smoked, but my mother used to send me to the corner store with enough money to buy her a 25 cent pack of Camels, and have a few cents left to buy some penny candy for myself.
