Drinking, voting, buying a gun, and serving in the military are all equal in my eyes. They all require an equal amount of personal responsibility and so they should all have the same minimum age restriction.* If someone is old enough to vote they should be old enough to buy a gun. If they are old enough to serve in the military they should be old enough to buy beer. Etc. A person is either an adult or they're not. All our current differences in age requirements are the result of pure politics.

*Yes, voting is just as serious as owning a gun, often more so in the long run.

"how important it is to include young people's voices in political debate."

Yeah, as long as they say what their masters want to hear.

No sale.

CNN has a child-like view of the world.

Not surprisingly, CNN went out and interviewed a bunch of kids about gun control. Many of the children said that guns were scary. Because the children’s views corroborate CNN’s own child-like view of the world, CNN is pushing the idea that the Second Amendment is obsolete. If you disagree with CNN on this, you are a poopy-head.

“A person is either an adult or they’re not. All our current differences in age requirements are the result of pure politics.”

True, but STATES have the RIGHT to determine their ‘age of consent’ laws. I don’t want to see THAT right taken from each state.

I joined the Army at age 17, but delayed entry until I was done with High School the following spring. Turned 18 in Basic Training. Legal age in WI at the time was 18 - but not in South Carolina.

Then, at 19 I moved back home for a year, got married, then moved to California - where I had to be 21 to do anything, after already voting and buying alcohol in my home state.

But, it is what it is. And each STATE should have that right. Take that away and we’re at the edge of National ID cards and chipping us in the neck. ;)

JMHO.

....but do not let the children lead.

No one has really scratched the surface on this new story. I think just below the surface...and hovering above pulling the strings....are some twisted activist adults.

What 17 year old can secure a contract to rent tour buses? Who is paying for the "movement"? Some "adult" was coaching some of these little angels on what to say and how to say it. What adults are allowing these kids to skip school, rent buses (and maybe hotels) to travel to Florida's capital?

As in smelly things, FOLLOW THE MONEY, and you will find adults with bank accounts.

Cruz’s lawyer gave a lengthy diatribe the other day on how her client at age nineteen did not have a fully developed mature brain — just a child ! Research was given from a leading university shortly after that the congnitive skills are not completely present until about age 25

And yet the left wants our government to bow to the youth ! Rediculous

The fault for the shooting lies squarely on the school and the permissive politics of the school system of Broward county.

The black students can do no wrong permissive policy of the NAACP choking the school system allowed a white boy to come in and shoot his enemies in the student body.

There is no fault beyond the school

Do Not Let the Children Lead

We seem to be in a era of mob rule. Emotional resolutions are becoming the norm. The tools of mob rule are taught in our schools by the socialists of the 60’s. No one will accept the true cause of the problems because they are caused by the same people that use mob rule to to try to effect change.

The children you are seeing on the news are NOT leading. They are the puppets of the adults who script them.

They're fickle and fragile and fierce and forgetful. They hate you. They love you. They need you. They ignore you. They know everything. They know nothing. All in the span of 10 seconds.

So...they don't in fact differ at all from adult liberals? :)

Have these people not been around any actual 16 year olds?

When I was 16 I was interested in 2 things - boys and sneaking liquor out of my parents liquor cabinet. My 16 year old son and his friends are interested in 3 things - food, playing baseball, and girls (not necessarily in that order). Oh, and they parrot everything their teachers tell them, which I guess is really the point.
