The laws that put M4s and armed Hummers in the hands of 17 year olds and tell them they are not responsible enough for alcohol for 4 years would be a good start.
Anyone wish to tell me how it is logically possible that an 18yo can be trusted to drive fire and kill with an M1A1 tank and not be allowed in the enlisted club? Anyone wanna tell me why a 19 yo can have a couple combat tours under his belt and be endangered by a beer when he gets home?
Anyone wanna tell me why a 20 yo can get married, have a couple kids by that point, and be responsible enough for them but not responsible enough to buy a bottle at the bar?
Can’t wait to see the excuses.
Interesting response. We lived in Kansas including the years when we were raising teenagers. My daughter turned 18 in October of her senior year so she was the designated beer buyer, albeit 3/2 which, quite frankly, wasn’t most people’s idea of beer anyway. After one warning her father took away her driving privileges for several months.
Just because someone turns a certain age doesn’t mean that they will be more responsible that day than they were the day before. I have also seen plenty of guys and gals who are over 50 that drink wayyyy too much and then drive so age alone should not necessarily be a determination for level of responsibility IMO.
Just an issue filled with arguments pro and con. Choosing to be a responsible individual should come from within a person, not from government regulations.
